venv
If you are using Python 3, you should already have the venv module installed with the standard library. Create a directory for HiClass within your virtual environment:
mkdir hiclass-environment && cd hiclass-environment
This will create a folder called hiclass-environment in your current working directory. Then you should create a new virtual environment in this directory by running:
python -m venv env/hiclass-environment
python -m venv env\hiclass-environment
Activate this virtual environment:
source env/hiclass-environment/bin/activate
.\env\hiclass-environment\Scripts\activate
To exit the environment:
deactivate
