Follow as in the url
This is how i do : 1) create an app.py in Sublime Text or Pycharm, or whatever the ide, and in that app.py have this code
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def helloWorld():
return'<h1>Hello!</h1>'
This is a very basic program to printout a hello , to test flask is working.I would advise to create app.py in a new folder, then locate where the folder is on command prompt enter image description here type in these line of codes on command prompt
>py -m venv env
>env\Scripts\activate
>pip install flask
Then
>set FLASK_APP=app.py
>flask run
Then press enter all will work
The name of my file is app.py, give the relevant name as per your file in code line
set FLASK_APP=app.py
Also if your python path is not set, in windows python is in AppData folder its hidden, so first have to view it and set the correct path under environment variables. This is how you reach environment variables
Control panel ->> system and security ->> system ->> advanced system setting
Then in system properties you get environment variables
