Create a Python virtual environment (quick)

When working with Python, it’s best practice to use a separate virtual environment for each project to avoid dependency conflicts. Tools like PyCharm create virtual environments automatically, but you can just as easily do it via the command line:

Once activated, your console should look like this:

(.venv) <user>@<computer> <FolderName>

Activate the virtual environment

source .venv/bin/activate

cd to your project root and create a new virtual environmentRunning this command will create a .venv folder (a common name, but you can customize it if needed):

python3 -m venv .venv

You can leave the virtual environment by executing deactivate.
