In this post I will try to share how you can start to create a project with virtual environment for Python 3.

Get An Code Editor or
IDE, I will suggest you to use VS Code because it's good for beginners.

Install Python 3 Programming Language.

Create a Virtual Environment

Open Any Terminal and run below command.

python -m venv venv
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Activate the Virtual Environment.

For Linux Based OS Or Mac-OS.

source venv/bin/activate
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

For Windows With CMD.

.\venv\Scripts\activate.bat
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

For Windows With Power shell.

.\venv\Scripts\activate.ps1
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

For Windows With Unix Like Shells For Example Git Bash CLI.

source venv/Scripts/activate
