starting from the beginning,

from the starterkit folder

>> . venv/Scripts/activate
venv/Scripts/activate:3: command not found: ^M
venv/Scripts/activate:70: parse error near `\n'

Hi Roberto,

Have you installed the Flask?

pip install Flask

Please try to run this command to check if the Flask is properly installed.

flask --version

The result should display something like this.

Python 3.11.1
Flask 2.2.2
Werkzeug 2.2.2

Thanks

hello, i cant install flask if the environment cant be first activated, unless you need to make a new venv from scratch in which case the documentation step by step is not right

Hi Roberto,

Have you installed Python?

python --version

We will revise the docs.

Thanks

I have installed python, the documentation is not correct if followed step by step. recommend taking a look at the process for macOS

Hi Roberto,

Sorry for the inconvenience. We mainly use Windows while working with Flask. We will check the macOS and update the appropriate documentation for macOS.

Does the issue has been resolved?

Thanks

the issue is not resolved until the documentation is updated properly, i tried running on windows and also found problems when setting up the project. if this is not solved i would request a refund

following up on this issue, any new progress? happy

Hi Roberto,

When you use it on Windows which step do you have the issue with? Do you still get the "command not found" error?

We will update the docs after we could reproduce the issue and update instructions to run the application.

Thanks

Please use to bypass this issue:

python3.10 -m venv venv # assuming you have python 3.10 installe
source venv/bin/activate
