Hi, In this article let us see how to Enable Virtual Environment. So Why Virtual Environment Why not the same Terminal? If You install a package which is needed for one project Your create a folder and install the package which is common for the whole of your computer. If you want to create another project the packages will apply to them. And you don’t want to do something with your website. So a virtual environment keeps a package within the project so they do not clash between them so follow the steps to create One
Type the following code in your terminal
$ sudo pip install virtualenv
So this will install the package for The Virtual Environment
2. Create a Folder to keep your venv
$ mkdir Environments
Go into the folder using
$ cd Environments
3. Now add a venv using the following code
$ virtualenv project_1
4. Activating the venv
$ source project_1/env/bin/activate
5. Installing other packages
pip install numpy
6. Converting the package into a txt file
pip freeze --local > rts.txt
After this you will see the following
This means that your venv is running successfully if not check the steps.
Delete, Deactivate from venv
Deactivate the venv
To deactivate the venv just type
$ deactivate
which will deactivate the venv and you will see the result like this:
Delete the venv
To delete the folder in which the venv is present type:
$ rm -rf project_1
then the folder will be deleted
Happy Coding
