Framework Setup

This page will explain about framework setup using pallets/flask as demonstration. As always, have in mind that different software means different steps, even if the concept is the same.

Before diving into setting up pallets/flask, there will be listed the set of tools used in this tutorial right below:

• Bash
• Git
• Pip (Python's package manager)
• Python3 Interpreter
• Python3 VEnv

Framework Setup

As previously mentioned, pallets/flask will used as a demonstration. The setup of this framework will be shown on this part of the tutorial.

Before cloning pallets flask, I would like to recommend that all the cloning of tools is done inside the ~/Downloads directory, as it is easier to delete cloning without deleting personal data if anything goes wrong.

Cloning pallets/flask

To clone this framework GitHub repository you can run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/pallets/flask.git

Setting up pallets/flask

Before handling pallets/flask dependencies, it is recommended to create a Python3 VEnv to avoid a dependency hell.

Use the following commands to create a VEnv inside flask cloned directory:

cd flask
mkdir .venv
python3 -m venv .venv

To ensure dependencies are met and the framework is installed inside the VEnv, running the following command will do it automatically:

.venv/bin/pip install -e .
