I keep getting the error no module named flask when I try to run the server. I looked up the problem and people say that you need to activate the virtualenv (which I did) or check to see if python was installed (which it was). The code that keeps activating this error is: from flask import Flask

Is flask installed in your virtual environment ? to check activate your virtual environment and run pip freeze does it show flask installed?

12,976 PointsCan you post the code from your app please. Did you install flask? What version of flask are you running? Is it possible you installed flask for python3 and are running python2.7 or vice versa?
You can also run python from the console (just type python) and when you see the prompt >>> type from flask import Flask and see if you get the same error message. If everything is installed in the correct place you shouldn't see any errors.
