VENV, short for Virtual ENVironment, helps you to create a a virtual environment in which you can install python and modules. Without disrupting the system-wide python installation with its modules.Commands issued are for a linux system.
Installation is very straight forward.
python3 -m venv .venv
Activation:
source .venv/bin/activate
After activation you’ll see a slight change in the prompt. It is prepended with (venv)
Installation of modules needs to be done within venv.
Deactivation of venv:
deactivate
