Requirements

• Windows 10 or 11
• WSL 2.6.1.0
• Powershell 5.1 or 7.3

This is a Python Flask application (template) that requires the following libraries (installed with pip via the requirements file):

1. Flask: A web framework for Python.
2. Redis: An in-memory data structure store, used as a database.
3. Jinja2: A modern and designer-friendly templating language for Python.
4. PDB: Python Debugger, used for debugging the Flask application.

The template includes a basic structure for a web application using FastAPI and Flask, with support for Redis as a database and Jinja2 for templating. PDB is provided for debugging purposes during development. After installation your project is in the Debian WSL distribution, use VS Code to develop it there.
