Creating a Virtual Environment with Miniconda
- Installing Miniconda
https://www.anaconda.com/download/success
- Making the conda commands (permanently) available in the command line
conda init cmd.exe
- Creating Virtual environments
In this example, we create a Virtual Environment named jaimedcsilva that will have Python 3.12 installed.conda create -n myfirstenv python==3.14
Note: You will be asked if you want to install additional packages. Choose yes as these packages will be useful in the future.
- Activating the Virtual Environment
You know that the Virtual Environment is activated when it shows between parentheses in your directory: (myfirstenv) C:\Users\jaime>activate myfirstenv
Other useful Miniconda commands
