It is recommended to add venv folder into .gitignore

Go to directory where you want to create virtual environment [venv_dir]

Create virtual env:

python -m venv [venv_dir]

Activate the environment:

.[venv_dir]\Scripts\activate

while inside the venv, install all dependencies from requirement.txt:

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r [venv_dir]\requirements.txt
