The basic blog app built in the Flask tutorial.
Install
Be sure to use the same version of the code as the version of the docs you're reading. You probably want the latest tagged version, but the default Git version is the main branch.
# clone the repository $ git clone https://github.com/pallets/flask $ cd flask # checkout the correct version $ git tag # shows the tagged versions $ git checkout latest-tag-found-above $ cd examples/tutorial
Create a virtualenv and activate it:
$ python3 -m venv venv $ . venv/bin/activate
Or on Windows cmd:
$ py -3 -m venv venv $ venv\Scripts\activate.bat
Install Flaskr:
$ pip install -e ./venv
Or if you are using the main branch, install Flask from source before installing Flaskr:
$ pip install -e ../.. $ pip install -e .
Run
$ export FLASK_APP=flaskr $ export FLASK_ENV=development $ flask init-db $ flask run
Or on Windows cmd:
> set FLASK_APP=flaskr > set FLASK_ENV=development > flask init-db > flask run
