4. Set up your Virtual Environment

Windows

# to create a venv in your current directory, run
>>> python3 -m venv venv

# to activate your venv, from the folder containing the venv folder run
>>> .\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

# to deactivate your venv, run
>>> deactivate

Mac/Linux

# to create a venv in your current directory, run
$ python3 -m venv venv

# to activate your venv, from the directory containing the venv folder run
$ source ./venv/bin/activate

$ deactivate

If you do not have Python 3.9.12 installed on your machine, download it . This is the same version that is used in CS 1110 this semester.
