title: How do I set up a virtual environment with Flask using conda?
body: <p>I wish to set up a virtual environment that I can use to develop web applications using the Flask framework for Python (3.4.2, Mac OS). I was given the instructions on how to do that <a href="http://www.enigmeta.com/2012/08/16/starting-flask/" rel="noreferrer">here</a>, using the virtualenv. However, trying to follow these instructions I ran into a problem: I have Python installed via <a href="http://continuum.io/downloads#all" rel="noreferrer">Anaconda</a>, and upon trying:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo easy_install virtualenv
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am warned that I should be doing this with the already-installed <code>conda</code> package instead. I can't imagine that the conda way of doing things is much harder, but I also want to get bogged down with reading the documentation, because then I might not emerge back out of it again... So my question is, what's a quick way of setting up a virtual environment with Flask using Conda? And how can I then add more dependencies into this mix?</p>
