OPTIONAL

You can create a virtual environment before running the commands in number 2.

Creating the Virtual Environment

• Open your terminal or command prompt.
• Navigate to the directory where you want to create your virtual environment.
• Execute the following command: python -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment
• Replace /path/to/new/virtual/environment with the desired location for your virtual environment. For example: python -m venv .venv
• This will create a virtual environment in the current directory.
• On Windows, you can also use the following command: python -m venv c:\path\to\myenv

Just do python-m venv venv to put the virtual environment in the project root directory

Activate the Virtual Environment

After creating the virtual environment, activate it:

• On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

• On macOS/Linux: source .venv/bin/activate

Deactivate the Virtual Environment

When you’re done working in the virtual environment, deactivate it: deactivate
