python3 -m venv <myenvname>
This is the recommended way to create virtual environments by the Python community.
9๐
To create virtual env
virtualenv -p python3 venv_name
This will create new python executable in baseDirectory/bin/python3
How to activate newely created Venv:
cd baseDirectory/bin/

Python already ships with its builtin โvirtualenvโ called venv
since version 3.3. You no longer need to install or download the virtualenv
scripts for Python 3.3+.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html
Check that your installation provided the pyvenv
command that should take care of creating the โvirtualenvโ. Arguments are similar to the classic virtualenv project.
$ pyvenv --help
usage: venv [-h] [--system-site-packages] [--symlinks | --copies] [--clear]
[--upgrade] [--without-pip]
ENV_DIR [ENV_DIR ...]
Creates virtual Python environments in one or more target directories.
positional arguments:
ENV_DIR A directory to create the environment in.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--system-site-packages
Give the virtual environment access to the system
site-packages dir.
--symlinks Try to use symlinks rather than copies, when symlinks
are not the default for the platform.
--copies Try to use copies rather than symlinks, even when
symlinks are the default for the platform.
--clear Delete the contents of the environment directory if it
already exists, before environment creation.
--upgrade Upgrade the environment directory to use this version
of Python, assuming Python has been upgraded in-place.
--without-pip Skips installing or upgrading pip in the virtual
environment (pip is bootstrapped by default)
Once an environment has been created, you may wish to activate it, e.g. by
sourcing an activate script in its bin directory.

virtualenv is the tool of choice for Python 2, while venv handles the task in Python 3.
Yet you can create the virtual environment for Python 3 using any of them.
Using venv
python3 -m venv virtualenvname
Command Syntax:
/path/to/python3 -m venv /path/to/directory/virtual_env_name
Using virtualenv
virtualenv -p python3 virtualenvname
Command Syntax:
virtualenv -p /path/to/python3 /path/to/directory/virtual_env_name
Activate the virtual environment
On Linux, Unix or MacOS, using the terminal or bash shell:
source /path/to/venv/bin/activate
e.g. source virtualenvname/bin/activate
On Unix or MacOS, using the csh shell:
source /path/to/venv/bin/activate.csh
On Unix or MacOS, using the fish shell:
source /path/to/venv/bin/activate.fish
On Windows using the Command Prompt:
path\to\venv\Scripts\activate.bat
On Windows using PowerShell:
path\to\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
Deactivating the virtual environment
On Linux, Unix or MacOS, using the terminal or bash shell:
deactivate
On Windows using the Command Prompt:
path\to\venv\Scripts\deactivate.bat
On Windows using PowerShell:
deactivate

Refer to the documentation to gain complete insights on it.
Test the installation of virtualenv:
$ virtualenv --version
Usage:
1.Creating a virtual environment:
$ virtualenv โsystem-site-packages -p python3 ./virtual_env_name2.For enabling it, use the following command:
$ source ./virtual_env_name/bin/activate3.For disabling the virtual environment and get back to working with the local environment:
$ deactivateFor listing down the packages in the virtual environment, use the
following command:

-
Inside the folder of which you want to create the environmentโฆstart bash or VSCode terminal, or whatever command prompt, type [python .exe path] -m venv [env name] like this:
C:/Users/Path/Programs/Python/Python38/python.exe -m venv myenv
-
(Note that you have to change forward slash to backward slash for the path on step 4)
-
Activate the environment like so:
source myenv/Scripts/activate
