# How to work with python venv
|
|
|
|
## create
|
|
Create a virtual environment with:
|
|
```
|
|
python -m venv <path/and/name/of/venv-dir>
|
|
```
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
```
|
|
python -m venv .venv
|
|
```
|
|
The example command creates a directory `.venv` (in the current working directory) containing the created virtual environment.
|
|
|
|
## use
|
|
To use/activate the virtual environment, source `<venv-dir>/bin/activate`.
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
```
|
|
source .venv/bin/activate
|
|
```
|
|
or
|
|
```
|
|
. .venv/bin/activate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To exit the virtual environment use the command/script `deactivate`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### the command prompt does not show the venv prompt
|
|
If one customised the command prompt, that might interfere with the venv prompt.
|
|
When using `starship` one needs to enable and include the `python` module. |
