Hello Coders,

This article presents an open-source **Flask Dashboard** crafted on top of **[Gradient Able](https://appseed.us/admin-dashboards/flask-dashboard-gradient-pro)**, a modern Bootstrap 4 dashboard template. Product is actively supported and versioned and the permissive license allows unlimited copies for hobby and commercial products. 

This simple start might help beginners (and not only) to code faster a commercial product using Flask. 

For newcomers, Flask is a lightweight web application framework written in Python. Sometimes classified as a microframework, Flask provides a lightweight codebase that can be easily extended to become an API, a simple web app, or a complex eCommerce platform.

> How to use the starter

To compile and use this simple Flask Dashboard, Python3 and GIT should be properly installed and accessible in the terminal. We can easily check this by opening a terminal window and type two simple commands as shown below:

```bash
$ # Check python
$ python --version 
Python 3.8.4         <--- All good
$
$ # Check GIT
$ git --version
git version 2.28.0.windows.1 <--- All good
```

---

Using GIT, we can download the sources directly from the public repository published on Github.  If using GIT is a problem, feel free to download the ZIP archive provided by Github. Basically, is the same thing.

---

**1# - Clone the sources (from Github)**

```bash
$ # Get the code
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/flask-gradient-able.git
$ cd flask-gradient-able
```

---

**2# - Install modules/dependencies**

```bash
$ # Virtualenv modules installation (Unix based systems)
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$
$ # Install modules - SQLite Database
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```

---

**3# - Set up the environment & start the app**

```bash
$ # Set the FLASK_APP environment variable
$ export FLASK_APP=run.py
$
$ # Start the application (development mode)
$ flask run 
$
$ # Access the dashboard in browser: http://127.0.0.1:5000/
```

Once the application is up & running in the browser, we should see the login page. To pass the login and unlock the private pages, please make a new user first - the app is not provided with default users.
