What you need:
- A Python 3 distribution
- (Either 3.6 or 3.7.0 will work. However, 3.6.6 is on Wiebe)
- Access to that Python 3 dist via CLI
How to build the virtual environment:
-
Make your way to your directory of the app.
-
Run the command:
python3 -m venv [Desired-Path]
- An example of this command would be:
python3 -m venv ./../.envs/hirola-database-siteThis installs a new python3 env in ../.envs/hirola-database-site
- An example of this command would be:
-
Now we need to activate the python env:
source [Path-to-Env]/bin/activate- An example of this command would be:
source ../.envs/hirola-database-site/bin/activateThis uses the python env. From this point every python3 or pip3 command will use this environment and will not be global.
- An example of this command would be:
-
Now we need to install requirements: (Do this with activate sourced)
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
-
Now you can run the app! With the virtualEnv sourced, you can run:
python3 run.py
-
To stop using this Env, simply type:
deactivatenow you have access to your global python installation.
