1. Setting up a python virtual environment

• venv allows you to manage separate package installations for different projects.

• To create a virtual environment, go to your project’s directory and run venv.

• On macOS and Linux:

  python3 -m venv env

• On Windows:

  py -m venv env

The second argument is the location to create the virtual environment. Generally, you can just create this in your project and call it env.

2. Activating a virtual environment

• On macOS and Linux:

  source env/bin/activate

• On Windows:

  .\env\Scripts\activate

• Leaving the virtual environment If you want to switch projects or otherwise leave your virtual environment, simply run:

  deactivate
