Introduction

A virtual environment helps isolate projects from potentially conflicting libraries and packages that are installed on an operating system.

The dbt environment

First of all we will create a virtual environment called nip-dbt-venv.

The first step to creating this environment involves running this code:

python3 -m venv nip-dbt-venv

A new folder appears within your project with the name of nip-dbt-venv.

Secondly, we shall activate this environment via:

source nip-dbt-venv/bin/activate

Now you’re good to go.
