If you are on OS X or Linux chances are that one of the following two
commands will for for you::
sudo easy_install virtualenv
$ sudo easy_install virtualenv
or even better::
sudo pip install virtualenv
$ sudo pip install virtualenv
Changes are you have virtualenv installed on your system then. Maybe it's
even in your package manager (on ubuntu try ``sudo apt-get install
python-virtualenv``).
On windows, just installed virtualenv from the `Python Package Index
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv>`_.
If you are on Windows and missing the `easy_install` command you have to
install it first. Check the :ref:`windows-easy-install` section for more
information about how to do that.
So now that you have virtualenv running just fire up a shell and create
your own environment. I usually create a folder and a `env` folder

Now I really don't recommend this way on using Flask, but you can do that
of course as well. Download the `dip` zipfile from the website and unzip
it next to your application.
.. _windows-easy-install:
`easy_install` on Windows
-------------------------
On Windows installation of `easy_install` is a little bit tricker because
on Windows slightly different rules apply, but it's not a biggy. The
easiest way to accomplish that is downloading the `ez_setup.py`_ file and
running it. (Double clicking should do the trick)
Once you have done that it's important to add the `easy_install` command
and other Python scripts to the path. To do that you have to add the
Python installation's Script folder to the `PATH` variable.
To do that, click right on your "Computer" desktop icon and click
"Properties". On Windows Vista and Windows 7 then click on "Advanced System
settings", on Windows XP click on the "Advanced" tab instead. Then click
on the "Environment variables" button and double click on the "Path"
variable in the "System variables" section.
There append the path of your Python interpreter's Script folder to the
end of the last (make sure you delimit it from existing values with a
semicolon). Assuming you are using Python 2.6 on the default path, add
the following value::
;C:\Python26\Scripts
Then you are done. To check if it worked, open the cmd and execute
"easy_install". If you have UAC enabled it should prompt you for admin
privileges.
