HOW TO CONNECT RASPBERRPI WITH VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-venv python3-pip -y

Create a Virtual Environment

Navigate to your project directory (or create one) and set up a virtual environment:

mkdir my_project && cd my_project
python3 -m venv venv

• source venv/bin/activate

Install Dependencies in the Virtual Environment

You can now install packages using pip:

pip install numpy pandas

To create and use a virtual environment on your Raspberry Pi 5, follow these steps:

1. Install Python and venv (if not already installed)

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3 python3-venv python3-pip -y


2. Create a Virtual Environment

Navigate to your project directory (or create one) and set up a virtual environment:

mkdir my_project && cd my_project
python3 -m venv venv


This will create a folder named venv, which contains the virtual environment.

3. Activate the Virtual Environment

• For Bash (default shell on Raspberry Pi)bashCopyEditsource venv/bin/activate
• Your terminal prompt should change, indicating you are now inside the virtual environment.

4. Install Dependencies in the Virtual Environment

You can now install packages using pip:

pip install numpy pandas


Replace numpy pandas with any packages you need.

5. Deactivate the Virtual Environment

When you’re done, exit the virtual environment with:

Reactivate the Virtual Environment Later

Whenever you need to use it again, navigate to your project directory and run:

source venv/bin/activate
