As @Miguel pointed out in the comments I used the flask/bin/pip
instead of the global pip and everything worked fine! Thanks!

Question
So I'm trying to make a simple app using the Flask framework and the Instagram API.
I have my application set up and everything is working well. But how can I import the Instagram module in my application?
I have run the $ pip install python-instagram
, but when I try to import the module into my script I get the ImportError: No module named instagram
So how can I utilize the Instagram Python API in Flask?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE
I followed this tutorial to set up Flask on my computer. It's running on virtualenv on folder on my computer. When I installed the Instagram Python API it was put in a folder /build
inside my app which looks like this:
instapp/
-- app/
-- __init__.py
-- static
-- templates
-- views.py
-- build/
-- httplib2/
-- python-instagram/
-- simplejson/
-- flask/
-- bin/
-- include/
-- lib/
-- run.py
-- tmp
-- virtualenv.py
