Creating lightweight “virtual environments” allows to use for each python app its own python environment. When we use python apps on the machines in IASpace and a venv is required, we can follow these simple steps:
You might need first to enable running scripts inside powershell:
Open Microsoft Powershell as Administrator and execute
Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -> Yes to Allthen
Open Microsoft Powershell
cd C:\path\to\your\python\project
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate
Open OSX Terminal
cd path/to/your/python/project
python -m venv venv
If you happen to have python 3 installed you might need to use this command:
python3 -m venv venv
and then..
source venv/bin/activate
Open Terminal
cdcd path/to/your/python/project
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
