*Episode 4* PYTHON (Virtual Environment of Python)

Creating virtual environments

This Episode covers:-

 1.) How to create virtual environments in Windows.

 2.) How to create virtual environments in macOS.

 3.) How to create virtual environments in Linux.

👉Creating and activating virtual environments in Windows:-

      Create a new directory for the projects:

Terminal

mkdir projects

cd projects

       venv command creates the virtual environment. Activate it with the activate.bat script:

Terminal

python -m venv venv

venv\Scripts\activate.bat

      The (venv) prefix indicates that the environment is active:

Terminal

(venv) C:\Users\samul\projects>

      Rest of the book will mostly be the same for all operating systems.

Summary

•  You can use the venv command to create virtual environments.
•  Make sure to active the virtual environment before you start working on a project.

👉Creating and activating virtual environments in macOS:-

      Create a new directory for the projects:

Terminal

mkdir projects

cd projects

      venv command creates the virtual environment. Activate it using the source

command:

Terminal

python3 -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate

      Source command reads and executes commands from a file.

      The (venv) prefix indicates that the environment is active:

Terminal

(venv) ~

      Rest of the book will mostly be the same for all operating systems.

Summary

•  You can use the venv command to create virtual environments.
•  Make sure to active the virtual environment before you start working on a project.

 👉Creating and activating virtual environments in Linux :-

     Create a new directory for the projects:

Terminal

mkdir projects

cd projects

      venv command creates the virtual environment. Activate it using the source

command:

Terminal

sudo apt-get install python3-venv

python -m venv venv

source venv\bin\activate

      Source command reads and executes commands from a file.

      The (venv) prefix indicates that the environment is active:

Terminal

(venv) samuli@box:~/projects$

      Rest of the book will mostly be the same for all operating systems.

Summary

•  You can use the venv command to create virtual environments.
•  Make sure to active the virtual environment before you start working on a project.
