/// details | `.venv` or other name

You could create the virtual environment in a different directory, but there's a convention of calling it `.venv`.

///

## Activate the Virtual Environment { #activate-the-virtual-environment }

Activate the new virtual environment so that any Python command you run or package you install uses it.

/// tip

/// tip | 提示

通常你只需要在创建虚拟环境时执行此操作**一次**。

///

## 退出虚拟环境 { #deactivate-the-virtual-environment }

当你完成工作后，你可以**退出**虚拟环境。

<div class="termy">

```console
$ deactivate
```

</div>

<div class="termy">

```console
$ cd ~/code/prisoner-of-azkaban

// You don't need to be in the old directory to deactivate, you can do it wherever you are, even after going to the other project 😎
$ deactivate

// Activate the virtual environment in prisoner-of-azkaban/.venv 🚀
$ source .venv/bin/activate

// Now when you run python, it will find the package sirius installed in this virtual environment ✨
$ python main.py

## Install `PyJWT` { #install-pyjwt }

We need to install `PyJWT` to generate and verify the JWT tokens in Python.

Make sure you create a [virtual environment](../../virtual-environments.md), activate it, and then install `pyjwt`:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pip install pyjwt

---> 100%
```

</div>
