Sure, let’s dive into creating a virtual environment using venv in Linux!
A virtual environment is a self-contained directory that allows you to install and manage dependencies for a specific project without interfering with the global Python environment. In this tutorial, we’ll use venv—a built-in Python module—to create a virtual environment on a Linux system.
Before we start, ensure that you have Python and pip installed on your Linux system. You can install them using the package manager of your distribution.
Open a terminal on your Linux system. You can do this by searching for “Terminal” in your application menu or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T.
Navigate to the directory where you want to create your virtual environment using the cd command.
Use the following command to create a virtual environment named venv:
This command uses the venv module to create a virtual environment named venv in your project directory.
Activate the virtual environment using the source command:
Once activated, your terminal prompt should change, indicating that you are now working within the virtual environment.
With the virtual environment activated, you can now use pip to install Python packages without affecting the global environment.
Replace package_name with the name of the package you want to install.
When you’re done working in the virtual environment, deactivate it using the deactivate command:
Congratulations! You’ve successfully created and used a virtual environment using venv on your Linux system. Virtual environments are a great way to manage dependencies for different projects and keep your development environment clean.
Feel free to explore more advanced features of venv and enhance your Python development workflow!
