🔴 PATH / ENV

• When i tried to CREATE the env folder by using this command python -m venv .venv , like you see in in the tutorial 6:25 | Python Virtual Environment and pip for Beginners, so to create the venv folder, it works BUT ✋ it DOESN'T CREATE the SCRIPTS folder that also comes within the .venv folder, 🟥 this script folder is important because it comes with some activation files

In the beginning i thought the problem had something to do with this warning i was getting every time i try to install something using PIP:

 WARNING: The script virtualenv is installed in '/home/myComputer/.local/bin' which is not on PATH.
  Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.

So i decided to add what was missing

1. 🔶 Open your shell configuration file (~/.bashrc for Bash or ~/.zshrc for Zsh) in a text editor ubuntu terminal etc.... For example:

nano ~/.bashrc

2. 🔶 Add the following line at the end of the file:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

3. Save and close the file ✋ (in Nano, press Ctrl + X, then Y, then Enter).

4. After saving the file, apply the changes by running:

source ~/.bashrc

This command reloads the shell configuration file and updates your current PATH.

5.Verifying the PATH Change

To verify that ~/.local/bin has been successfully added to your PATH, you can run:

echo $PATH
