Create a Virtual Environment(venv) for a Project in Linux

 Open a Terminal:

Open a terminal window on your Linux system.

Navigate to your Project Directory:

Use the cd command to navigate to the directory where you want to create your project and its virtual environment.

cd path/to/your/project

Create a Virtual Environment:

Run the following command to create a virtual environment. Replace venv with the desired name for your virtual environment.

python3 -m venv venv

If you are using a version of Python prior to Python 3.3, you may need to install virtualenv and then use it to create the virtual environment:

# Install virtualenv 
pip install virtualenv

# Create a virtual environment 
virtualenv venv

Activate the Virtual Environment:

Run this command :

source venv/bin/activate

After activation, your terminal prompt should change to indicate that you are now working within the virtual environment.

Install Dependencies:

Now that the virtual environment is active, you can install the project dependencies using pip:

pip install package1 package2 ...

Replace package1, package2, etc., with the actual names of the packages your project requires.

Deactivate the Virtual Environment:

When you’re done working on your project, deactivate the virtual environment using the following command:

deactivate

Your terminal prompt should return to its normal state.

To work on your project in the future, you’ll need to reactivate the virtual environment by running the source venv/bin/activate command again.
