Downloading and installing Flask-Restless

Flask-Restless can be downloaded from the Python Package Index. The development version can be downloaded from GitHub. However, it is better to install with pip (in a virtual environment provided by virtualenv):

pip install Flask-Restless

Flask-Restless supports all Python versions that Flask supports, which currently include versions 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, and 3.4.

Flask-Restless has the following dependencies (which will be automatically installed if you use pip):

• Flask version 0.10 or greater
• SQLAlchemy version 0.8 or greater
• mimerender version 0.5.2 or greater
• python-dateutil version strictly greater than 2.2
• Flask-SQLAlchemy, only if you want to define your models using Flask-SQLAlchemy (which we recommend)
