The example applications in this book are written as web applications using Python and the Flask framework. If you want to implement the example applications, you will need a few things installed on your computer to get going.
This appendix will help you prepare your computer with the tools needed; what you need to install and how to configure your environment. We will also see a short primer on the Flask framework as well as a walkthrough to get the sample application running. Let’s begin with a look at how to set up our computers to run the example applications.
