+- `run.py` loads the `.env` file
+- Initialize the app using the specified profile: *Debug* or *Production*
+  - If env.DEBUG is set to *True* the SQLite storage is used
+  - If env.DEBUG is set to *False* the specified DB driver is used (MySql, PostgreSQL)
+- Call the app factory method `create_app` defined in app/__init__.py
+- Redirect the guest users to Login page
+- Unlock the pages served by *home* blueprint for authenticated users

+
+## Recompile CSS
+
+To recompile SCSS files, follow this setup:
+
+<br />
+
+**Step #1** - Install tools
+
+- [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/) 12.x or higher
+- [Gulp](https://gulpjs.com/) - globally 
+    - `npm install -g gulp-cli`
+- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/) (optional) 
+
+<br />
+
+**Step #2** - Change the working directory to `assets` folder
+
+```bash
+$ cd apps/static/assets
+```
+
+<br />
+
+**Step #3** - Install modules (this will create a classic `node_modules` directory)
+
+```bash
+$ npm install
+// OR
+$ yarn
+```
+
+<br />
+
+**Step #4** - Edit & Recompile SCSS files 
+
+```bash
+$ gulp scss
+```
+
+The generated file is saved in `static/assets/css` directory.
