Now you saw in the beginning when we opened our existing project for that snake_bnb I went and I created a virtual environment on the command line
0:11
using Python 3 venv command. And so there's conventions that PyCharm understands and this is super nice,
0:19
so here's typically how I would make a new project in PyCharm that uses environment, you just saw the gui but actually this is a lot quicker.
0:26
So I might make a folder and then go into that folder and create a virtual environment using this Python 3 command right here,
0:34
this would be exactly the same thing if you had gotten a project of a github, just you don't make the directory the git clone does that,
0:41
if you go in there and then you run this command and then when we open this project in PyCharm, we open that folder or directory in PyCharm,
0:51
notice, we've already got that virtual environment automatically detected as long as it wasn't previously opened in PyCharm,
0:58
because it creates this sort of project file that one time figures out what interpreter to use, and then it's set.

So long as you do the command line stuff first and then you open the directory, you'll have this virtual environment set up super quick and easy.
