Play this article
In this tutorial, we use Python 3 and Windows, while Flask also works well on Python 2.7.
Open cmd (Command Prompt) in Windows.
Make a directory and let’s name it “flask-tutorial” using cmd:
mkdir flask-tutorial
Change directory to created folder:
cd flask-tutorial
From cmd as administrator: create a virtual environment, let's name it “venv”
python -m venv venv C:\Users\gardi\flask-tutorial
To activate the virtual environment, change the directory to flask-tutorial:
cd C:\Users\gardi\flask-tutorial
Then activate the virtual environment in cmd:
venv\Scripts\activate
Install Flask inside “venv” environment using pip install command inside cmd:
pip install Flask
To check if the Flask is installed or not, go to Python inside cmd:
python
Then import flask package using:
import flask
