pip install Python packages in Jupyter Notebook in a virtual environment

Question

I would like to create a Jupyter Notebook in a virtual environment in VS Code. I want to do different kinds of projects. For that, I have tried to create a virtual environment inside VS Code, where I can download the required packages for the project i.e. TensorFlow, PyTorch... And I want to do those projects in a Jupyter Notebook because I also would like to present them.

1. First, I created a folder in desktop. [Step 1]:
2. I dragged the folder on VS Code window. [Step 2]:
3. Created a Jupyter Notebook file called "Project1.ipynb" [Step 3]:
4. Then Ctrl+Shift+P, and chose "> python:Create Environment" -> Type "venv" and the later Python version that I have as interpreter [Step 4]:
5. At last, I moved the Jupyter Notebook file to ".venv" virtuasl environment.

• So my question is how can I pip install specific python packages to that virtual environment and use them just in that particular virtual environment and not globally ?

Answer 1

One way is to install package in venv environment in the terminal.

Firstly, active your venv environment by command like Path\to\venv\active

Then you can use command pip install packageName to install the python package you want.

Finally, don't forget to choose the python kernel in jupyter.

Another way is to run codes ! pip install packageName in cells after choosing the python kernel.
