Server Configuration

Installing Flask

In Ubuntu server install virtualenv with:

$ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv

Choose a directory to create the virtual environment with:

$ mkdir myproject $ cd myproject $ virtualenv venv

If it doesn't work, check LC_TYPE and LC_ALL are set with:

$ locale export LC_TYPE="es_ES.UTF-8" export LC_ALL="es_ES.UTF-8"

Once it is installed, activate the environment using:

$ . venv/bin/activate

Then you should be seeing in the prompt something like this:

(venv) alumne@...

Then, install Flask:

$ pip install Flask

To deactivate the environment, use:

$ deactivate
