2. Open terminal (local terminal, command prompt, or vs code terminal) in that folder

3. Now, use these commands

python --version # Type this and hit enter to verify the python version


# Now use these commands
python -m venv .env

4. Your virtual environment is created in that folder, now activate this virtual environment using this command.

Command for 'Command Prompt':

.\env\Scripts\activate

Command for 'Powershell':

.\env\Scripts\Activate.ps1

Command for Git Bash or WSL:

source \.env\bin\activate

If Powershell gives you error like File cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled then use this command!

5. Congratulations🎊 Your virtual environment activated now make your project
