Virtual Environments

Virtual Environments

Virtual environments allow you to isolate your project's Python dependencies from your system-wide Python installation.

Creating a Virtual Environment

When creating a new PyPositron project, you can choose to create a virtual environment. If you didn't create one during project setup, you can create it later using the following command:

positron venv

Activating a Virtual Environment

To activate your project's virtual environment, run:

On Linux/Mac:

source linuxvenv/bin/activate

On Windows:

winvenv\Scripts\activate

Installing Dependencies

To install Python packages in your project's virtual environment, use the positron install command:

positron install <library_name>

Managing Dependencies

Dependencies for your project are typically listed in requirements.txt. You can install all dependencies using:

pip install -r requirements.txt
