How to SETUP pipenv ON ubuntu 18.04 FOR python flask apps?

Heya,

I’d be happy to help you set up a Python 3.7 and Pipenv production environment on Ubuntu.

To set up your environment, follow these steps:

1. Install Python 3.7: First, make sure you have Python 3.7 installed on your Ubuntu 18.04 system. If you don’t, you can follow this tutorial to install it: How to Install Python 3 and Set Up a Programming Environment on Ubuntu 18.04.

2. Install Pipenv: Next, install Pipenv using the following command:

   pip install --user pipenv
   
   

3. Activate Pipenv environment: Navigate to your project directory and initiate your Pipenv environment by running:

   pipenv install
   
   

4. Install dependencies: Install your required packages inside the Pipenv by either specifying them in your Pipfile or by running the following command for each dependency:

   pipenv install package_name
   
   

5. Configure Nginx: Since you’re using Nginx, you can follow this tutorial to configure it for your Flask application: How To Serve Flask Applications with uWSGI and Nginx on Ubuntu 18.04.

6. Configure PostgreSQL: Make sure you have your PostgreSQL database configured correctly. If you need help, check out this tutorial: How to Set Up a New Django Project with PostgreSQL Using Pipenv (The PostgreSQL setup part).

Hope that this helps!
