1. Install Python
2. Install virtualenv
3. Install virtualenvwrapper or virtualenvwrapper-win
4. Create a virtual environment
5. Install flask
6. Run our flask project
7. Checkout the next branch

1. Install Python

2. Install virtualenv

$ pip install virtualenv

3. Install virtualenvwrapper or virtualenvwrapper-win

virtualenv wrappers make it easy to manage multiple environments and can make iterating on project easy.

4. Create a virtual environment

$ mkvirtualenv helloworld

cd into root of project

$ setprojectdir .

$ deactivate

$ workon helloworld

5. Install flask

Now we need flask for our first website!

$ pip install flask
