You need to specify the environment of the application. Like this

export FLASK_APP = application.py

after performing this operation

flask run

After reviewing the documentation, if you do what I said, it will be enough to come to the terminal and run python app.py runserver in terminal.

You can check flask's documentation for that. https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/patterns/appfactories/
