Getting ready

To manage Python packages, you will need pip. If you are using Python 3.4+, then it will be included in your Python installation. If you are using another version of Python, you can install pip by executing the installation instructions at http:/?/?pip.?readthedocs.?org/?en/?stable/installing/?.

$ sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

The virtual environment has been built into Python since version 3.3.
