venv: Create a python virtual environment.

$ python -m venv ${path-to-virtual_environment}

try on your machine

The command "python -m venv" is used to create a virtual environment in Python.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

"python": This is the command to run the Python interpreter.
"-m": This option allows you to specify a module to be executed by the interpreter.
"venv": This is the module in Python that provides support for creating virtual environments.

The "${path-to-virtual_environment}" represents the path where you want to create the virtual environment. You need to replace this part with the actual path you want to use. For example, if you want to create the virtual environment in a folder named "myenv" located in your current directory, you would replace "${path-to-virtual_environment}" with "myenv".

When you run this command, Python will execute the "venv" module and create a new virtual environment in the specified path. A virtual environment is an isolated Python environment that allows you to install packages and libraries without affecting your system-wide Python installation. It helps to keep your project dependencies separate and avoids conflicts.
