Instruction Guide: Running a Flask App Using

Virtual Environment (venv)


1. Open your project folder and Download Project Web App
Download the web-app folder first:

[Link]

Make sure your Flask project's files are in one folder, including:

• [Link] (or whatever your main Flask file is)


• [Link]
• Other modules/templates/static folders

You can open the folder using CMD/Terminal:

cd path/to/your/project

2. Create a Virtual Environment


Run:

python -m venv venv

This will create a folder named venv containing your isolated Python environment.

3. Activate the Virtual Environment


Windows (CMD)

venv\Scripts\activate

Windows (PowerShell)

.\venv\Scripts\Activate

MacOS / Linux

source venv/bin/activate

Once activated, you should see:


(venv)

before your command prompt.

4. Install Dependencies from [Link]

Make sure [Link] is inside your project folder, then run:

• pip install -r [Link]

This will install all needed packages including Flask.

5. Run Your Flask App


If your app uses the basic [Link]:

python [Link]

Windows (CMD)

set FLASK_APP=[Link]

Then start the server:

flask run

6. Access the Flask App


Open your browser and go to:

[Link]

7. Deactivate the Virtual Environment
