Virtual Environments

Virtual environments allows you to keep multiple python projects' installed packages separate from each other.

Create a new virtual environment

python -m venv venv

This creates a venv directory.

Now, we can install things only in this directory and they won't be installed anywhere else on our machine.

Activate a virtual environment

source venv/bin/activate

This should add (venv) to your terminal prompt.

Deactivate a virtual environment

deactivate
