Installing Zango in a Python Virtual Environment

This guide will walk you through the steps to install Zango within a Python virtual environment. Virtual environments allow you to create isolated environments for your projects, ensuring that dependencies are managed separately for each project.

Pre-requisites​

  • Python 3.8 or later installed on your system.
  • pip (Python package manager) installed.
  • Basic knowledge of command-line operations.

Step 1: Create a Project Directory​

Create a directory for your project to keep things organized:

mkdir my_zango_project
cd my_zango_project

Step 2: Create a Virtual Environment​

Run the following command to create a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv

This creates a directory named venv in your project folder.

Step 3: Activate the Virtual Environment​

venv\Scripts\activate

Once activated, your command prompt should display (venv) at the beginning, indicating the virtual environment is active.

Step 4: Install Zango​

With the virtual environment active, install Django using pip:

pip install Zango

This will download and install Zango and its dependencies in the isolated environment.

Step 5: Verify the Installation​

After installation, confirm that Zango is installed correctly:

zango --version

This should display the version of Zango installed.
