• Activate virtual environment by: Open the project folder in terminal, type"$ source ./venv/bin/activate". You may also do this via Python Ides(e.g. pycharm) by configging the interpreter as venv and the python inside the folder.
• If you activated your virtual environment successfully, your will see "(venv)" in your command line
• Dependencies in a virtual environment can be exported: $ pip freeze > requirements.txt
• Dependencies can be installed into a virtual environment: $ pip install -r requirements.txt
