Our API server will be based on the Python Flask framework. We will need to create a server folder to store our server files and start the development of the server.
You will need to install the following Python packages. To do so, open Terminal (macOS or Linux) or the Command Prompt/PowerShell (Windows) and execute the following commands:
- To install the Flask framework, use the following command:
> pip install flask
- To install the Flask RESTful extension, use the following command:
> pip install flask-restful
- To install the Flask CORS extension, use the following command:
> pip install flask-cors
