sudo apt install build-essential python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv

Creating / Initiating a virtual environment

A virtual environment is created in project folder using a command:

python3 -m venv venv

Activation:

source venv/bin/activate

If this is the first start of the virtual environment, run the command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Remember: When you are done working with one environment, before switching to another - or working with the globally installed one - you need to make sure to deactivate it.

Start

Next, launch as usual:

python update.py
