make a flask server in python

To create a basic Flask server, you can follow these steps:

1. Install Flask by running pip install Flask in your terminal.

2. Create a new Python file and import Flask:

   main.py
   from flask import Flask 
   app = Flask(__name__)
   47 chars
   3 lines

3. Use routes to define the behavior of the server, for example:

   main.py
   @app.route("/")
   def hello():
       return "Hello World!"
   55 chars
   4 lines

4. Run the application using:

   main.py
   if __name__ == '__main__':
       app.run()
   41 chars
   3 lines

   This tells Python to run the application only if the code is executed directly rather than imported as a module.

5. Finally, run your Python file from the terminal using:

   main.py
   $ export FLASK_APP=filename.py
   $ flask run
   43 chars
   3 lines

   This will start the server, and you should be able to see your "Hello World!" message by visiting http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in your web browser.

This is just a simple example, but Flask can be extended to create more complex web applications and API endpoints.
