step one

pip install virtualenv

pip install virtualenvwrapper (for Linux/Macs) pip install virtualenvwrapper-win (for windows)

mkvirtualenv flaskmap

workon flaskmap

pip install flask

pip install peewee

pip install psycopg2

create database

make sure you have a postgresql database up and running by installing postgresql:

https://www.postgresql.org/download/

we will use peewee to connect to the database

store your configurations in a file so that it is not made public in a file like: config.py

create templates

after connecting to the database we will return the queries as variables and then pass them into our jinja2 templates.

establish API

we can handle user requests to different endpoint by modifying the routing.

migrate to production server

depending on the platform, we can either host our app on heroku or on a private webserver running either linux or windows server.
