virtualenv: Create a new environment.
$ virtualenv ${path-to-venv}
try on your machine

The command "virtualenv" is used to create isolated Python environments where you can install dependencies and packages without affecting the system-wide Python installation. In the given command, "${path-to-venv}" is a placeholder for the desired location or path where you want to create the virtual environment. When you run the command with the actual path, it creates a new directory at the specified location. This directory will contain a complete Python environment with its own installed packages, Python interpreter, and other necessary files. Usage example: If you want to create a virtual environment named "myenv" at the location "/home/user/venvs/myenv", you would use the command: virtualenv /home/user/venvs/myenv After running this command, the "myenv" directory will be created with the isolated Python environment inside. You can then activate the virtual environment using the appropriate command based on your operating system.
