Create a virtual environment in Python

To create a virtual environment in Python, you can use the built-in venv module. Here are the simple steps to create a virtual environment using venv in the terminal:

1. Open a terminal.
2. Navigate to the directory where you want to create the virtual environment.
3. Run the following command to create a virtual environment named myenv:

python -m venv myenv

Replace myenv with any name you prefer.

Activate the virtual environment: On Windows:

myenv\Scripts\activate

On macOS and Linux:

source myenv/bin/activate

Once the virtual environment is activated, you will see (myenv) or the name of your virtual environment at the beginning of the command prompt. This indicates that you are inside the virtual environment, and all Python package installations and commands will be performed within this environment.

When you are done working, you can deactivate the virtual environment by running the deactivate command.

This way, you have created a Python virtual environment where you can independently install and manage packages without affecting the global Python environment.
