Creating a Virtual Environment
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. tip::
|
|
|
|
If you want to learn more about virtual environments, see page: `about-venvs`
|
|
|
|
We require installing Red into a virtual environment. Don't be scared, it's very
|
|
straightforward.
|
|
|
|
**************
|
|
Using ``venv``
|
|
**************
|
|
|
|
This is the quickest way to get your virtual environment up and running, as `venv` is shipped with
|
|
python.
|
|
|
|
First, choose a directory where you would like to create your virtual environment. It's a good idea
|
|
to keep it in a location which is easy to type out the path to. From now, we'll call it
|
|
``redenv`` and it will be located in your home directory.
|
|
|
|
Create your virtual environment with the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. prompt:: bash
|
|
|
|
python3.9 -m venv ~/redenv
|
|
|
|
And activate it with the following command:
|
|
|
|
.. prompt:: bash
|
|
|
|
source ~/redenv/bin/activate
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
|
|
You must activate the virtual environment with the above command every time you open a new
|
|
shell to run, install or update Red.
