❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install a Python package? ▾
Run pip install package-name in your terminal. For virtual environments, activate the venv first. Use pip install package-name==1.0.0 to install a specific version.
What is a virtual environment? ▾
A virtual environment (venv) isolates Python packages per project, preventing version conflicts. Create one with python -m venv venv, activate with source venv/bin/activate (Linux/Mac) or venv\Scripts\activate (Windows).
How do I check installed packages? ▾
Run pip list to see all installed packages, pip show package-name for details of a specific package, or pip freeze > requirements.txt to export all dependencies.
