Change <code>IP_Address<\/code> and <code>Port_Number<\/code> according to your server\u2019s IP address and SSH port number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you are logged in, you should update all of your packages to their latest available versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>apt-get update -y<br>apt-get upgrade -y<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all the packages are up-to-date, restart your server to apply the configuration changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-install-required-dependencies\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install-Required-Dependencies\"><\/span>Install Required Dependencies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Flask is a python-based application. So Python and other required dependencies must be installed on your server. If not installed you can install all of them with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get install python3 python3-pip python3-dev build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-setuptools -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all the dependencies are installed, install the Python virtual environment package using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get install python3-venv -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once installed, you can proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-install-nginx-web-server\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install-Nginx-Web-Server\"><\/span>Install Nginx Web Server<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this tutorial, we will use Nginx as a reverse proxy for the Flask application.

You can install it using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get install nginx -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the Nginx is installed, start and enable the Nginx service using the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">systemctl start nginx\nsystemctl enable nginx<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-create-a-virtual-environment-for-flask-application\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create-a-Virtual-Environment-for-Flask-Application\"><\/span>Create a Virtual Environment for Flask Application<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you will need to create a virtual environment for the Flask application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, create a project directory with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">mkdir ~\/project<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, change the directory to your project and create a Python virtual environment with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">cd ~\/project\npython3 -m venv venv<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, activate your environment with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">source venv\/bin\/activate<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, install Gunicorn, Flask, and other components with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">pip install wheel\npip install gunicorn flask<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you are finished, you can proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-create-a-flask-application\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create-a-Flask-Application\"><\/span>Create a Flask Application<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you will need to create a sample Flask application for your project.
