Well, the first thing we had to do
0:01
to get started with Flask was
0:02
get started with Flask! And we saw that we could do that
0:05
by creating a virtual environment
0:08
pip installing Flask, it would take along the dependencies
0:11
and probably we want SQLAlchemy in there as well.
0:14
So we're going to do that when we get started
0:16
and we saw there's two core ways.
0:18
Of course, we can always use the command-line, right?
0:21
Create a directory, create a environment
0:23
activate it, pip install flask and sqlalchemy
0:26
create a file and just start editing, you know.
0:27
Typically that first file is called app.py.
0:30
We saw that you'll benefit from much more structure
0:34
than the standard Flask tutorial
0:36
'Hello, world' type thing would imply you would ever want.
0:39
But hopefully, going through this whole course
0:41
and seeing this app put together
0:43
you'll build a more structured thing than that.
0:46
So you could always start with the terminal
0:47
and just go that way, or we saw on Pycharm you could say
0:51
New project, Flask.
0:53
Go and create me a virtual environment
0:55
while you're doing it. So either way you want to do it, totally fine.
0:58
And that's how we got started.
