Virtual Environment

I'm assuming that you know Python basics, and Python is installed on your computer.

Create a folder anywhere you want and call it django-project/, then:

Mac/Linux:

Navigate to the folder by using your Terminal:

cd /path/to/folder/

Then:

python -m venv env

This command will create a folder called env/, it's the virtual environment. Let's now activate it:

source env/bin/activate

Note: You should see the name of your virtual environment in parentheses in your terminal prompt, indicating that the virtual environment is now active.

 

Windows:

Navigate to the folder by using your CMD:

chdir \path\to\django-project\

Then:

python3 -m venv env

This command will create a folder called env/, it's the virtual environment. Let's now activate it:

\env\Scripts\activate.bat

Note: You should see the name of your virtual environment in parentheses in your terminal prompt, indicating that the virtual environment is now active.
