Introduction

Flask is a Microframework for python based on Werkzeug and Jinja2. Werkzeug is a WSGI utility library for python. WSGI is a protocol which ensures that web application and web servers works nicely. Werkzeug is a library to create framework. From web frame work I mean a standardized approach or way to deploy web based applications. Jinja2 is a modern and designer friendly templating language.

Features of Flask

1.) Built in development server and fast debugger
2.) Jinja2 template support and WSGI utility library.
3.) Support for secure cookies
4.) HTTP request handling functionality
5.) Configuration is very flexible.
6.) Elegant API
7.) Support for unit testing

Installation on Windows

Install easy_install. This step is same for Ubuntu also but the code for installing easy_install is different for both. We will update both here. For windows please follow the following steps
I.   Please click on the link ez_setup.py.
II. Copy the content when you click on the file in the step 1 to a text file and save it with the    name ez_setup.py
III. Open the command window and navigate to the path where you have saved the file in the  step 2.
IV. Run the command ez_setup.py and press enter. Installation will start.
V. To see whether easy_install is being installed you can find it in the python folder which you have installed in C drive. Just navigate to c:\python X\Scripts. X is the version of python you have installed.
VI. Please add path c:\python X\Scripts to environment variable.
VII.Once you have did for the above steps, now it is easy to install pip. Type c:\easy_install        pip. Now Open the command window and type pip install flask.

Installation on Ubuntu

You can follow the same procedure as you did for window i.e install easy_install and install pip with the help of such but it is much easy to install easy_install in Ubuntu. Please follow the below steps to install easy_install and python
I. $sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev build essential
II. $sudo easy_install pip and then $sudo pip install flask.
