Virtual Environment Setup Guide

To activate a virtual environment and install packages on different operating systems, follow these steps:

Create a Virtual Environment (if not already created)

If you haven't created a virtual environment yet, use the venv module, which comes bundled with Python 3.3 and later, to create one. Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to your project directory. Then, run the following command:

python -m venv venv

This will create a new virtual environment named venv in your project directory.

Activate the Virtual Environment

Once you have created the virtual environment, you need to activate it. This will modify your terminal or command prompt to use the Python interpreter and packages from the virtual environment.

On Windows

venv\Scripts\activate

On Linux/Mac

source venv/bin/activate

After activation, you will see (venv) at the beginning of your terminal or command prompt, indicating that the virtual environment is active.

Install Packages

With the virtual environment activated, you can now install packages using pip:

pip install package_name

Replace package_name with the name of the package you want to install. The package will be installed within the virtual environment, keeping it isolated from the global Python installation.

Deactivate the Virtual Environment

When you're done working on your project or want to switch back to the global Python environment, you can deactivate the virtual environment. Simply run:

deactivate

This will return your terminal or command prompt to the standard Python environment.
