Flask Framework Cookbook - Second Edition

Getting ready

We will use a Python library called elasticsearch, which makes dealing with Elasticsearch a lot easier:

$ pip3 install elasticsearch 

We also need to install the Elasticsearch server itself. This can be downloaded from https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch. Unpack the package and run the following command:

$ bin/elasticsearch 

This will start the Elasticsearch server on http://localhost:9200/ by default.
