Run the app for the first time

(Windows, with virtualenv, run locally, in development mode)

• py -m venv env get virtual env
  • On Linux, if you're required to download virtualenv, use pip3 install virtualenv
• .\env\Scripts\activate activate virtual env
• pip install -r requirements.txt install all required packages (flask etc.)
  • On Linux, if pip isn't present in the virtualenv, try env/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
• set FLASK_APP=app.py activate .py file to be the application
• set FLASK_ENV=development activate development mode
• python -m flask run --host=0.0.0.0 run the application
• Visit "http://localhost:5000/" to see the application
• deactivate close the virtual environment after you close the app

Run the app with all environment setup

• .\env\Scripts\activate activate virtual env
• set FLASK_APP=app.py activate .py file to be the application
• set FLASK_ENV=development activate development mode
• python -m flask run --host=0.0.0.0 run the application
  • On Linux, if the virtualenv cannot be found when trying to run the app, use venv/bin/python app.py
  • If you've activated the virtualenv, you shouldn't have to use the directory to the virtualenv in order to do everything. These commands are here incase you cannot get it activated.
• Visit "http://localhost:5000/" to see the application
• deactivate close the virtual environment after you close the app

Caching fix - during design and development of web pages

Flask automatically caches your static files the first time they're loaded via Flask and because of this, you may have noticed that any changes your making aren't being applied when you refresh the page. For the changes to me made, you need to clear the cache and refresh the page, which you can do by pressing ctrl+F5.
