This simple Flask starter can be complied with ease if the workstation has a Python3 environment and GIT accessible via the terminal. The steps (copied from the README file):

#1 - Clone the sources

$ # Get the code
$ git clone https://github.com/app-generator/flask-adminkit.git
$ cd flask-adminkit

#2 - Install modules

$ # Virtualenv modules installation (Unix based systems)
$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate
$
$ # Install modules - SQLite Database
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

#3 - Start the app

$ # Set the FLASK_APP environment variable
$ export FLASK_APP=run.py
$
$ # Start the application (development mode)
$ # --host=0.0.0.0 - expose the app on all network interfaces (default 127.0.0.1)
$ # --port=5000    - specify the app port (default 5000)  
$ flask run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=5000
$
$ # Access the dashboard in browser: http://127.0.0.1:5000/

Once the project is up & running in the browser, we should see the login page. By default, the app redirects guest users to authenticate. To pass the login, we need to register a new user and use the credentials to Sign IN.
