Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Installing the wrong package name 70% fail

    The package name might be different (e.g., Flask-SQLAlchemy vs flask_sqlalchemy).

  2. Installing in the wrong virtual environment 80% fail

    The environment where the app runs doesn't have the package.
