Start out by creating a new directory or cloning a repository (which creates a directory) and cd into it:
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/username/proj-name
$ cd proj-name/
Initialize the virtual environment:
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
Install whatever dependencies you need:
$ pip install package1 package2
Then develop and/or run your program:
$ python data_model.py
$ python app.py
$ sqlite3 hpr.sqlite "select count(*) from users"
When you’re done working you can deactivate the environment by typing:
$ deactivate
