Once you have installed python 3.6 as described in the
last post you can create virtual environment to work with it.
- First let’s install the package of virtual environment for python 3.
CentOS/RHEL
sudo yum install -y python3-venv
Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install -y python3-venv
- Create a directory for you virtual environment and get inside it.
mkdir virtualenvscd virtualenvs
- Now let’s create our virtual environment.
python3.6 -m venv cloudvedasenv
- Finally activate the new virtual environment. Notice the new environment name in brackets once you run the source command. That means you are now inside the virtual environment.
[ec2-user@cloudvedas ~]$ source cloudvedasenv/bin/activate
(cloudvedasenv) [ec2-user@cloudvedas ~]$
- If you want to install a package inside the virtual environment you can use pip .
(cloudvedasenv) [ec2-user@cloudvedas ~]$ pip install zappa requests flask
