pip install Flask Jinja2

Moreover, if the pip command is not working for you, then as an alternative, you can use any of the given commands for the installation.

#  using Python 2
pip install Flask Jinja2

# (could also be pip3.10 depending on your version)
pip3 install Flask Jinja2

# on linux operating system
sudo pip3 install Flask Jinja2

# on windows
pip install Flask Jinja2 --user

# using pip version
python -m pip install Flask Jinja2
#using pip3 version
python3 -m pip install Flask Jinja2

# for Anaconda
conda install -c conda-forge Flask Jinja2

# for Jupyter Notebook
!pip install Flask Jinja2

# using py alias (Windows)
py -m pip install Flask Jinja2

Hopefully, you will no more get the error once you have installed the updated version of the Flask module.

Once the installation is complete, you can then use the following commands to import the markup.

from jinja2.utils import markupsafe 
markupsafe.Markup()

This will help you to get rid of ImportError: Cannot Import Name Markup From Jinja2 error.
