Setting up Project in Current Folder Using Venv and Included Requirements File

Overview

This project is set up within the current directory, allowing for easy management and organization. To set up the project environment, we use a virtual environment (venv) to isolate our Python dependencies from those of other projects or system-wide packages. We also include a requirements.txt file that lists all the necessary dependencies for our project.

Prerequisites

1. A local development environment with Python installed
2. Git installed and available in your system's PATH
3. Optionally, a code editor of your choice (e.g., Visual Studio Code, PyCharm)

Steps to Set Up the Project Environment

1. Creating the Virtual Environment - Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to the project directory where you want to create the virtual environment. - Run the following command to create a new virtual environment named "myenv": bash python3 -m venv myenv This command will create a new directory called myenv in the current directory. Inside this directory, you'll find a separate Python interpreter and its site-packages directory.

2. Activating the Virtual Environment - After creating the virtual environment, activate it by running one of these commands (choose the appropriate one based on your operating system): - For Windows: bash myenv\Scripts\activate - For macOS or Linux: bash source myenv/bin/activate Your terminal prompt should now display the name of your virtual environment, indicating that it is active.

3. Installing Dependencies

   • Within your activated virtual environment, you can install the necessary Python packages by running:

     pip install -r requirements.txt

     This command will install all the dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file within your virtual environment.

4. Deactivating the Virtual Environment (Optional)

   • Once you've finished working on your project and want to deactivate the virtual environment, simply run this command:

     deactivate

5. Once activated, you can run your main script by using the following command:

   python3 main.py

6. Your project should now start running. The specific output and behavior will depend on the purpose of your code.

Additional Resources

• Venv documentation
• Pip documentation

Now you have a local Python environment with a separate set of installed packages, which can help prevent conflicts between different projects or packages. Feel free to modify the requirements.txt file as needed for your specific project requirements.
