Installing Flask on CentOS 8

Flask is a lightweight web framework written in Python. It is efficient, flexible, and easy to use, making it a popular choice for building web applications. Here's how you can install Flask on CentOS 8:

1. Open a terminal on your CentOS 8 server.
2. Install the necessary dependencies by running the following command:

   sudo dnf install -y gcc python3-devel

3. Create a Python virtual environment by entering:

   python3 -m venv myenv

   This will create a virtual environment named "myenv" in your current directory.
4. Activate the virtual environment by executing:

   source myenv/bin/activate

   You should see the name of the virtual environment displayed in your terminal prompt.
5. Install Flask using pip, the package installer for Python:

   pip install flask

6. You have successfully installed Flask on CentOS 8!

With Flask installed, you can now start developing web applications using Python. Flask provides a simple and intuitive API that allows you to handle routes, render templates, and interact with databases among other functionalities.

Don't forget to deactivate the virtual environment once you're done working with Flask by running the command deactivate.
