# Flask Application Setup Guide
This guide walks you through setting up and running a Flask application in a virtual environment.
---
## Requirements
Ensure you have the following installed on your system:
- **Python 3.7 or higher**
- **pip** (Python package manager)
---
## Setting Up the Environment
### Step 1: Create a Virtual Environment
Set up a virtual environment to isolate project dependencies:
```bash
python -m venv venv
Activate the virtual environment:
```bash
.\venv\Scripts\activate
### Step 2: Install Dependencies
Once the virtual environment is activated, install the required packages.
Install Flask
Install Flask version 2.2.3:
```bash
pip install flask==2.2.3
Install Dotenv
For managing environment variables, install python-dotenv:
```bash
pip install python-dotenv
Install SQLAlchemy
Install SQLAlchemy and Flask-SQLAlchemy:
```bash
pip install sqlalchemy==1.4.46 flask-sqlalchemy
Install bcrypt
For secure password hashing, install bcrypt:
```bash
pip install bcrypt
Upgrade pip
Make sure pip is updated to the latest version:
```bash
python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip
Install Werkzeug
Install Werkzeug version 2.2.2:
```bash
pip install werkzeug==2.2.2
---
### Running the Application
Step 1: Start the Application
Run the app using either of the following methods:
Using Python:
```bash
python app.py
or
# Using Flask's Built-in Server
```bash
flask run
---
# Step 2: Access the Application
After running, the application will typically be available at:
```bash
http://127.0.0.1:5000/
---
### Project Structure
# Your project folder should look like this:
.
├── app.py # Main application file
├── requirements.txt # List of dependencies
├── .env # Environment variables (not committed to source control)
├── venv/ # Virtual environment folder
├── templates/ # HTML templates
└── static/ # Static files (CSS, JS, images)
---
### Additional Notes
# Activate the Virtual Environment: Always activate the virtual environment before running the application or installing new packages.
Environment Variables: Use a .env file to store sensitive configurations like secret keys or database URIs. Example .env file:
```bash
FLASK_APP=app.py
FLASK_ENV=development
SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here
DATABASE_URI=sqlite:///app.db
---
# Deactivate the Virtual Environment: When done, deactivate the virtual environment:
```bash
deactivate
---
# Freeze Requirements: To create a requirements.txt file listing all dependencies, run:
```bash
pip freeze > requirements.txt
---
# Install from Requirements: If sharing the project, others can install the same dependencies by running:
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
---
