Как установить flask python на windows 10

Инсталляция¶

Flask зависит от некоторых внешних библиотек — таких, как
Werkzeug
и Jinja2. Werkzeug — это инструментарий для
WSGI — стандартного интерфейса Python между веб-приложениями и различными
серверами, предназначен как для разработки, так и развёртывания. Jinja2
занимается отображением шаблонов.

Итак, как же быстро получить всё необходимое на ваш компьютер? Есть много
способов, которыми вы это можете проделать, но самый обалденный — это
virtualenv, так что давайте глянем в первую очередь на него.

Для начала вам понадобится Python 2.6 или новее, так что убедитесь, что
у вас инсталлирован свежий Python 2.x. При использовании Flask с Python 3
загляните в раздел python3-support.

$ sudo easy_install virtualenv

$ sudo pip install virtualenv

$ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv

$ mkdir myproject
$ cd myproject
$ virtualenv venv
New python executable in venv/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip............done.

$ git clone http://github.com/mitsuhiko/flask.git
Initialized empty Git repository in ~/dev/flask/.git/
$ cd flask
$ virtualenv venv
New python executable in venv/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip............done.
$ . venv/bin/activate
$ python setup.py develop
...
Finished processing dependencies for Flask

Today we will see how to install FLASK in Windows 10. This is a framework written in Python designed to create web applications. Also, it offers to do it quickly and without having to enter and edit many lines of code. It is based on the WSGI specification by Werkzeug and the Jinja2 template engine. On the other hand, it has a BSD license. Some of its features are the following:

• It is based on Unicode
• WSGI compliant
• Allows the execution of individual tests
• It has development servers and debugging features
• Use Jinja2 template styles
• Allows the creation of secure cookies for sites

Prerequisite

As mentioned, this is an application written in Python. Consequently, it is essential to have this language installed. To know how to do it, see our tutorial.

How to download and install Flask in Windows 10. Step by step.

In the first place, it is necessary to create a folder where you will save the configuration of the app. With this in mind, we will create it inside Documents and call it my_flask.

Then open a CMD as an administrator from the folder location and run the following command:

py -m venv env

With this command we have created the virtual environment of Flask. In effect, all you have to do is go to the folder and look at the content.

Back to the terminal, please run the following command to activate the environment:

envScriptsactivate

Now, install Flask with the following command:

pip install flask

Once Flask is downloaded and installed, the wizard recommends updating the pip. With this in mind, run the following command:

python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip

Creating the configuration file.

Now it’s time to create an app.py file. Consequently, some advanced text editor like Notepad++ is recommended. Finally, save it in the newly created folder.

Then, please establish the application with the following order:

set FLASK_APP=app.py

Then open the app.py file and add the following lines:

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(name)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return '<h1>Hello</h1>'

To run this environment go to the terminal and there run:

flask run

Then, select the assigned IP address in the terminal. Then open it in any browser.

Ultimately we have seen how you install Flask on Windows 10. Besides, it is written in python so it has a great support. See you later!

Introduction

Flask is one of the most popular web application frameworks written in Python. It is a microframework designed for an easy and quick start. Extending with tools and libraries adds more functionality to Flask for more complex projects.

This article explains how to install Flask in a virtual testing environment and create a simple Flask application.

Prerequisites

• Installed Python 2.7 or Python 3.5 and newer
• CLI with administrator privileges

Step 1: Install Virtual Environment

Install Flask in a virtual environment to avoid problems with conflicting libraries. Check Python version before starting:

• Python 3 comes with a virtual environment module called venv preinstalled. If you have Python 3 installed, skip to Step 2.
• Python 2 users must install the virtualenv module. If you have Python 2, follow the instructions outlined in Step 1.

Install virtualenv on Linux

The package managers on Linux provides virtualenv.

• For Debian/Ubuntu:

1. Start by opening the Linux terminal.

2. Use apt to install virtualenv on Debian, Ubuntu and other related distributions:

sudo apt install python-virtualenv

• For CentOS/Fedora/Red Hat:

1. Open the Linux terminal.

2. Use yum to install virtualenv on CentOS, Red Hat, Fedora and related distributions:

sudo yum install python-virtualenv

Install virtualenv on MacOS

1. Open the terminal.

2. Install virtualenv on Mac using pip:

sudo python2 -m pip install virtualenv

Install virtualenv on Windows

1. Open the command line with administrator privileges.

2. Use pip to install virtualenv on Windows:

py -2 -m pip install virtualenv

Step 2: Create an Environment

1. Make a separate directory for your project:

mkdir <project name>

2. Move into the directory:

cd <project name>

3. Within the directory, create the virtual environment for Flask. When you create the environment, a new folder appears in your project directory with the environment’s name.

Create an Environment in Linux and MacOS

• For Python 3:

To create a virtual environment for Python 3, use the venv module and give it a name:

python3 -m venv <name of environment>

• For Python 2:

For Python 2, use the virtualenv module to create a virtual environment and name it:

python -m virtualenv <name of environment>

Listing the directory structure with the ls command shows the newly created environment:

Create an Environment in Windows

• For Python 3:

Create and name a virtual environment in Python 3 with:

py -3 -m venv <name of environment>

• For Python 2:

For Python 2, create the virtual environment with the virtualenv module:

py -2 -m virtualenv <name of environment>

List the folder structure using the dir command:

dir *<project name>*

The project directory shows the newly created environment:

Step 3: Activate the Environment

Activate the virtual environment before installing Flask. The name of the activated environment shows up in the CLI after activation.

Activate the Environment on Linux and MacOS

Activate the virtual environment in Linux and MacOS with:

. <name of environment>/bin/activate

Activate the Environment on Windows

For Windows, activate the virtual environment with:

<name of environment>Scriptsactivate

Step 4: Install Flask

Install Flask within the activated environment using pip:

pip install Flask

Flask is installed automatically with all the dependencies.

Step 5: Test the Development Environment

1. Create a simple Flask application to test the newly created development environment.

2. Make a file in the Flask project folder called hello.py.

3. Edit the file using a text editor and add the following code to make an application that prints «Hello world!«:

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return 'Hello world!'

4. Save the file and close.

5. Using the console, navigate to the project folder using the cd command.

6. Set the FLASK_APP environment variable.

• For Linux and Mac:

export FLASK_APP=hello.py

• For Windows:

setx FLASK_APP "hello.py"

7. Run the Flask application with:

flask run

The output prints out a confirmation message and the address.

8. Copy and paste the address into the browser to see the project running:

Conclusion

Flask web applications are easy to configure and run. It is one of the most popular web application frameworks for Python.
