2.56 -> hello friends in this video we are going to talk about virtual environments in python

8 -> and how to implement those virtual environments in windows operating system or windows environment

14.64 -> so here i have opened my command prompt

19.36 -> and on desktop i have a folder called uh let us make a new folder mkdir a new folder let's name it

29.52 -> um a and k you are anchor okay so i have a new folder let's go inside that folder

40.16 -> now in suppose anchor folder contains a a python project and you need to create

47.36 -> a virtual environment for that project so in order to keep things organized you create a

53.92 -> new folder here mkdir envs which will create your environments so let's go to in envs

65.36 -> and create a virtual environment here in order to create virtual environment you need to type

71.2 -> virtual env space your environment name suppose your environment name is env1 hit enter and now

84.24 -> your in virtual environment will be created uh virtual environment is you usually use to avoid uh

96.08 -> this version mismatch different projects in python use different dependencies

104.08 -> and different versions of those dependencies so if we install those dependencies globally then

111.44 -> the version versioning will not match with every project so for every project we create a virtual

117.52 -> environment and install those dependencies in them separately so here my environment

124 -> has been created as it says so we are inside envs folder let us see the contents of the envs folder

133.92 -> so as you can see

138.72 -> inside env we have our env1 this folder created env1 very virtual environment created

148.48 -> so let us go inside this virtual environment cd env1

155.76 -> i'm doing this just to show you what has been created uh dir see it includes this

165.36 -> include directory lib directory license.txt scripts so let us go inside the scripts

179.44 -> in scripts as you can see here there is a activate.bat and there is deactivate.bat

186.4 -> so these the two things we need to take into account in order to activate and

191.76 -> deactivate uh our virtual environment so let us go back

201.92 -> we are inside our envs folder we have where we have env1

206.24 -> so here you just type your aenv variable name which is env1

215.2 -> backslash scripts

218.88 -> backslash activate

224 -> and now as you can see uh env1 is written here which means nv1 has been activated now whatever

232.16 -> you will do here paper install uh tensor flow whatever dependency you will install here it will

241.12 -> get installed inside env1 and not globally so as you can see i have done this pip

248.64 -> installed tensorflow and it's being installed tensorflow version 2.3.0 is being installed

254.8 -> into env1 variable only so i'm just going to cancel it out here

265.52 -> okay it's cancelled still i am inside nv1 unless i

270.24 -> close this terminal or type deactivate command so deactivate

278.4 -> now as you can see env1 this name uh disappeared from this path okay

285.28 -> so this is how you create and virtual environment

288.48 -> uh in python in windows platform and activate and deactivate it so thank you very much hope you like
