Flask install: requirement already satisfied

I'm trying to go through Miguel Grinberg's peerless guide on creating Flask app, but hitting an early error. Can anyone see why?

I've already got an installation of Flask in Anaconda, but I was expecting to be able to install a new installation with a new virtual environment.

I've taken the steps to create a new environment but get the following error when I try to install a new version of Flask.

 (venv)xxx:flasky davidelks
 $ pip install Flask
 Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade):
 Flask in /Users/xxx/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages

What have I done wrong? Better yet, what can I do to fix it?

Try installing the flask from outside the virtual folder. For eg: If "virtual" is the name of the virtual folder,then install the flask from outside the virtual folder using the command "virtual\Scripts\pip install flask"

That's not an error. It's just pip's way of telling you "Go on, this is already installed!".
