Technical requirements
Working with Flask and Python in general is pretty easy and does not require a lot of dependencies and configurations. For most of the chapters in this book, all the required packages shall be mentioned in the relevant recipes. I will mention more specific requirements in relevant chapters. In general, you will need the following:
- A decent computer, preferably with a UNIX-based OS such as Linux or macOS. You can also use Windows, which would require some additional setup, but that is out of the scope of this book.
- A code editor of choice as the IDE. I use Vim and Visual Studio Code but anything will work, so long as it supports Python.
- A good internet connection as you will be downloading the packages and their dependencies.
All the code is freely available on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Flask-Framework-Cookbook-Third-Edition. This repository on GitHub contains the code for all the chapters in this book, segregated into corresponding folders.
