Virtual environment creation using pip
- Virtual environments help in creating project specific environments
- The basic command to create a virtual environment is
python -m venv <folder>
-
to activate virtual environment
- windows
<folder>\Scripts\activate - mac/linux
source <folder>/bin/activate
- windows
-
pip is the package manager of python
pip install <package-name>
- When we share our code (commit code into repos) we will not include virtual environments
- To maintain list of packages used we will be creating a requirements.txt file. Inside the activated environment
pip freeze > requirements.txt
- once requirements.txt is available installing the dependencies can be done using
pip install -r requirements.txt
