Firstly I wrote

Answer 1

I was having this same problem running the commands as stated in Flask quick start. using Powershell on windows 10

projects>set export FLASK_APP=hello.py
projects>flask run
 * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/

I needed to type python while being in the directory containing the file with from flask import Flask app = Flask(name)

@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
    return 'Hello, World!

after that you will get a message with an IP address in it

 * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

you copy IP address into your browser and your to that point you should see your hello world statement then.
