## Pyenv
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[`Pyenv`](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) is a package that lets you manage multiple versions of Python.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To use Pyenv to manage our virtual environments we are going to install two additional extensions below:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
brew install pyenv
|
||||||
|
brew install pyenv-virtualenv
|
||||||
|
brew install pyenv-virtualenvwrapper
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Update .bashrc
|
||||||
|
Add this command to your .bashrc file to make sure your virtual environment is initialized everytime you start a new terminal session.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example using Vim I open up terminal and type:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
vim ~/.bashrc
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Then I add the below command to the file:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Install Python versions
|
||||||
|
It's usually good to have at least both a Python 2 and Python 3 environment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
pyenv install 3.6.0
|
||||||
|
pyenv install 2.7.13
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Create an Environment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To create a virtual environment with Python 3 as the base with the name "my_cool_app":
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
pyenv virtualenv 3.6.0 my_cool_app
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
It's that easy. Another example using the Python 2.7.13 base that we created earlier:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
pyenv virtualenv 2.7.13 my_cool_app
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Activate an Environment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before you can start using the environment you need to activate it:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
pyenv activate my_cool_app
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Install Packages
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First activate your virtual environment and then use pip like normal
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
pyenv activate my_cool_app
|
||||||
|
pip install requests
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Deactivate an Environment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are done working with the virtual environment you can deactivate it with:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
pyenv deactivate
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Remove an Environment
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to remove the Python 2.7.13:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
pyenv uninstall 2.7.13
|
||||||
|
```
