This repository contains the steps to deploy a Virtual Environment for Python3

Setup your Ubuntu 18 Virtual Machine for python3

Option A: Easy/Direct:

Download our script designed to download and install pip3 for python3:

mtg@mtgvb:~$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MontrealTradingGroup/deployPython3VM/master/python-pip3.sh

This command will automatically download the script python-pip3.sh hosted in this repository.

Execute the script using:

mtg@mtgvb:~$ sh python-pip3.sh

You will be prompted for your root password. Once it is done, the Virtual Machine will reboot.

Option B: Do It Yourself:

Update and upgrade the virtual machine, just in case some of your software is outdated:

sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Then, install the package (software) python3-distutils which will be necessary to install pip3:

sudo apt-get install python3-distutils

Download the get-pip.py script which will be used to install pip3 automatically:

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

Execute the script to install pip3:

python3 get-pip.py --user

Reboot your Virtual Machine for the changes to take effect:

sudo reboot

Deploy your Python3 Virtual Environment

This repository contains the steps to deploy a Virtual Environment for Python3

Install Virtual Env using pip3:

mtg@mtgvb:~$ pip3 install virtualenv --user

Collecting virtualenv
  Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/7c/17/9b7b6cddfd255388b58c61e25b091047f6814183e1d63741c8df8dcd65a2/virtualenv-16.1.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl
Installing collected packages: virtualenv
Successfully installed virtualenv-16.1.0

Create a folder in which the virtual environment will be hosted:

mtg@mtgvb:~$ mkdir .env

Initialize and install the virtual environment in the previously created folder:

mtg@mtgvb:~$ virtualenv .env/freqtrade

Using base prefix '/usr'
New python executable in /home/mtg/.env/freqtrade/bin/python3
Also creating executable in /home/mtg/.env/freqtrade/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...
done.

Load the virtual environment:

mtg@mtgvb:~$ source .env/freqtrade/bin/activate

(freqtrade) mtg@mtgvb:~$ 

It is possible to see that the virtual environment was successfully loaded by noticing the '(freqtrade)' written before the username in the command line prompt.

Exit the virtual environment:

(freqtrade) mtg@mtgvb:~$ deactivate
