Creating a Virtual Environment in Python

The very first step when working with a virtual environment is to create a separate folder for the project. Let's make a folder project_venv, inside which the virtual environment will be created. Inside this folder, let's create another folder project1, in which the main working file with the code will be located - main.py:

Now you need to open the terminal and go to the project1 folder:

After moving to the project1 folder with our project, you can already create a virtual environment. This is done using the command:

The virtual environment will be created in the external folder project_venv, so in the command to the right of venv two dots are written, meaning the transition to the external folder. After the command is successfully executed, the system will automatically create a structure of service folders and files in the folder project_venv. For Windows OS it looks like this:

For Linux OS like this:
