Working with virtual environments is a good practice to keep your project dependencies isolated from other projects. This way you can have different versions of the same package in different projects.

1. Create a virtual environment

python -m venv <name_of_the_virtual_environment>

# Example
python -m venv venv

2. Activate the virtual environment

.\<name_of_the_virtual_environment>\Scripts\activate

# Example
.\venv\Scripts\activate

In windows using powershell

.\<name_of_the_virtual_environment>\Scripts\Activate.ps1

# Example
.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

3. Exits the virtual environment

deactivate

4. To remove the virtual environment

rm -r venv
