i get to the base flask-admin screen with this gist.

workingOnMyMachine.py

from flask import Flask
from flask_admin import Admin

app = Flask(__name__)

# set optional bootswatch theme
app.config['FLASK_ADMIN_SWATCH'] = 'cerulean'

admin = Admin(app, name='microblog', template_mode='bootstrap3')
# Add administrative views here

app.debug = True

app.run()
