A simple boilerplate Flask application. This base reduces the amount of code I need to write from scratch.
First, you'll need to clone the repo.
Second, download pip
and virtualenv
$ sudo easy_install pip
$ sudo pip install virtualenv
Optionally, install foreman
and heroku
Ruby Gems
$ sudo gem install foreman heroku
Optionally, you can setup an isolated environment with virtualenv
.
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages env
$ source env/bin/activate
On ubuntu, you may need to install python-dev: $sudo apt-get install python-dev
Next, install the requirements in your isolated python environment.
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Now, you can run the application locally.
$ python run.py
You can also run it using the production server if you install libevent-dev
and foreman
, but I am leaving that for another day, it also is difficult in Windows
$ foreman start
