What is Virtual Environment | How to Create Virtual Environment?

Anaconda Virtual Environment


>>> Virtual Environments

A virtual environment helps to test our code or run applications with other versions of python. It is quite easy to create a virtual environment. Let me make this clearer to you...

For instance, currently, your python code is in 1 version and if the new python update is released i.e. 2 and you want to test your code with the new version without losing the old then you should create a virtual environment and run the code.

1.      Open the CMD or Anaconda Prompt.

2.      You can create a virtual environment with a command called “conda create –name jaswanth24 biopython”

Here in the above sentence: jaswanth24 is the name of the new virtual environment. Biopython is the basic version of python. Some of the commands are ...

ü  conda create --name jas24 numpy

ü  conda create –name jasreddy24 anaconda

ü  conda create –name jaswanthreddy24 python 2.5

Here the first command means, it only creates numpy and it doesn’t create pandas or any other libraries.

The second command means it creates the whole anaconda environment with all libraries.

The third command helps to install python with specific version 2.5

3.      After it will ask Y/N (yes or no) type yes and then press enter ...

4.      Later it will install successfully but, you need to activate it whenever required with the help of the following command “activate jaswanth24” (which means activate your environment name.)

5.      You can also deactivate it with a command called “deactivate”.
