## Step 1: Verify Your Werkzeug Version
First, you need to check the version of Werkzeug you have installed in your project. You can do this by running the following command:

```bash
pip show Werkzeug

This command will display information about the Werkzeug package, including the version number. If the version is less than 1.0.0, you should consider updating it.

Step 2: Update Werkzeug

To update the Werkzeug package, run the following command:

pip install --upgrade Werkzeug

This command will update the Werkzeug package to the latest version. After updating, verify the updated version by running pip show Werkzeug again.

If the ImportError persists even after updating the Werkzeug package, it might be due to the dependencies in your project.

Step 3: Update Dependencies

To fix the ImportError, you need to identify and update the dependencies that are causing the issue. You can do this by following these steps:

1. Identify the packages that depend on Werkzeug. You can do this by checking your project's requirements.txt file or by running the following command:

pipdeptree --reverse --packages Werkzeug

1. Update the identified dependencies to their latest versions using the following command, replacing package_name with the actual name of the package:

pip install --upgrade package_name

1. After updating the dependencies, re-run your project to check if the issue is resolved.
