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.

To use `TestClient`, first install <a href="https://www.python-httpx.org" class="external-link" target="_blank">`httpx`</a>.

Make sure you create a [virtual environment](../virtual-environments.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, activate it, and then install it, for example:

```console
$ pip install httpx
```

///

Import `TestClient`.

Create a `TestClient` by passing your **FastAPI** application to it.

## Install dependencies { #install-dependencies }

Make sure you create a [virtual environment](../virtual-environments.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, activate it, and install `jinja2`:

<div class="termy">

```console
$ pip install jinja2

---> 100%
```

</div>

## Using `Jinja2Templates` { #using-jinja2templates }

* Import `Jinja2Templates`.

Por exemplo, vamos supor que você possua 4 endpoints na sua API (*operações de rota*):

* `/items/public/`
* `/items/private/`
* `/users/{user_id}/activate`
* `/items/pro/`

Você poderia adicionar diferentes requisitos de permissão para cada um deles utilizando apenas dependências e sub-dependências:

```mermaid
graph TB

current_user(["current_user"])

Por ejemplo, digamos que tienes 4 endpoints de API (*path operations*):

* `/items/public/`
* `/items/private/`
* `/users/{user_id}/activate`
* `/items/pro/`

entonces podrías agregar diferentes requisitos de permiso para cada uno de ellos solo con dependencias y sub-dependencias:

```mermaid
graph TB

current_user(["current_user"])
