Flask Installation

I did all the steps but it can't run flask:

(venv) (base) PS C:\Users\ivanb\PycharmProjects\starterkit> set FLASK_APP=__init__.py
(venv) (base) PS C:\Users\ivanb\PycharmProjects\starterkit> flask run
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"C:\wamp64\www\kt-serverside\flask\starterkit\venv\Scripts\python.exe" "C:\Users\ivanb\PycharmProjects\starterkit\venv\Scripts\flask.exe" run': The system cannot find the file specified.

I received a lot of warnings of deprecated during installation:

(venv) (base) PS C:\Users\ivanb\PycharmProjects\starterkit\_keenthemes\tools> yarn install
yarn install v1.22.19

Hi Ivan Beira,

Sorry for the inconvenience. We will keep improving the template.

The error part here shows that your Flask is not installed correctly and cannot be executed in the console.

(venv) (base) PS C:\Users\ivanb\PycharmProjects\starterkit> flask --version
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using ""C:\wamp64\www\kt-serverside\flask\starterkit\venv\Scripts\python.exe" "C:\Users\ivanb\PycharmProjects\starterkit\venv\Scripts\flask.exe" --version": The system cannot find the file specified.

You should see something like this when you execute command flask --version

flask --version
Python 3.10.3
Flask 2.1.2
Werkzeug 2.1.2

Thanks

Hi Ivan,

We did these minimum commands to make it run.

set FLASK_APP=__init__.py && flask run

C:\wamp64\www\keenthemes\_releases\metronic_v8.1.5_frameworks\flask_demo1\starterkit>set FLASK_APP=__init__.py && flask run

Have you tried to use normal "cmd" for Windows instead of using PowerShell?

Thanks

Ivan Beira 2 years ago

It runs but with a lot of errors, I will give up for the flask with your theme for now. Maybe it get better in the future. Thank you.

This installation was driving me nuts. Three days trying to make it work. When I gave up, I tried to install the django version and I was able to do it on the first time. There is a serious problem with your flask application, it is not a problem on my side. Please check as I do not want to use the django, I want to use flask.

Ivan Beira 2 years ago

Tried for the 10th time here. This time I did a fresh enviroment for python, downloaded metronic flask, transfered to the right folder without replacing files with the same name. Then this is all I did:

Windows PowerShell

It seems that it doesn't accept the __init__.py file as the flask application. I changed the name of the __init__.py to app.py as it is the default for flask and it shows another errors.....

Hello Faizal,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes I did all the steps at the same order as instructed. The download file you provide has the folder "venv" and I think there is some configuration files that it is changing how the flask behave as I sent you on the last message, it shows path files that is not from my computer:

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using ""C:\wamp64\www\kt-serverside\flask\starterkit\venv\Scripts\python.exe" "C:\Users\ivanb\PycharmProjects\starterkit\venv\Scripts\flask.exe" run": The system cannot find the file specified.

Also about your question yes of course I've installed python and flask let me show you the console messages:

Hi Ivan.

Have you installed python and flask?

As stated in the documentation;
https://preview.keenthemes.com/flask/metronic/docs/getting-started

Please download and install the python:
https://www.python.org/downloads/

Then you have to install the Flask for the project to run.

pip install Flask

Thanks
