The Flask Tutorial

If you want to learn how to build your own web sites and web apps using Flask, follow the tutorial here -

https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/tutorial/

Important

The tutorial instructions install the tutorial application in a virtual environment as a module called flaskr, so you must first create a virtual environment.

If you get errors when following the install instructions you might need to install wheel in your virtual env first.

pip install wheel

To run

If you just want to run the tutorial example, the code is included here in the tutorial folder.

> cd tutorial
> set FLASK_APP=flaskr
> set FLASK_ENV=development
> flask init-db
> flask run
