Setting up your enviroment

​

Step 1: Check Python Installation

Make sure Python is installed on your machine. You can check by running:

python3 --version

If Python is not installed, download it from python.org.

​

Step 2: Create the Virtual Environment

In your project directory, run the following command to create a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venv

This will create a folder named venv that contains a fresh Python environment.

​

Step 3: Activate the Virtual Environment

• On macOS/Linux:

source venv/bin/activate

• On Windows (Command Prompt):

venv\Scripts\activate

• On Windows (PowerShell):

.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

Once activated, your shell prompt should change to show the virtual environment name.

​

Step 4: Install Dependencies

You can now install packages using pip:

pip install py-clob-client
