How to install flask with Python Selector

Introduction

This article will walk you through installing Flask with Python Selector.

Procedure

This article assumes that you have registered the application through Python Selector already. If you need assistance in doing so, we have an article to walk you through that here:

How to register an application with Python Selector

1. Connect to your server via SSH as the cPanel user where the application was created. Once connected,
2. Run the following command where '$cPuser' is your cPanel username, '$AppRootName' is the application name that you chose for the application root box, and '$AppVersion' is the version of Python you chose. Also see the example below.
   

   source /home/$cPuser/virtualenv/$AppRootName/$AppVersion/bin/activate && cd /home/$cPuser/virtualenv/$AppRootName/

3. We can then use pip to install flask:

   pip install flask

Example:

cPanel user = cptech

AppRootName = app-test

AppVersion = 3.7

source /home/cptech/virtualenv/app-test/3.7/bin/activate && cd /home/cptech/virtualenv/app-test/
