If running with FLASK_ENV = development this shouldn't be necessary for running, but still good to have this so users aren't confused when trying to run prod

@nytai Yeah. that was the idea in the change that @dpgaspar made in #23186, but it's not working, as per my issue #23288
Maybe you have an idea how to make #23186 work as intended.

SUMMARY
In the steps of installing locally the flask backend, if the SECRET_KEY has not been already generated, I thought adding a step for generating the SECRET_KEY would be good, as I was searching for it.
