1. Prepare Your Environment

   create a new folder and navigate into it. In this folder, you’ll set up and activate a new virtual environment using your command line:

        $ python -m venv env
        $ python3 -m venv env
   

   On Windows, run:

        env\Scripts\activate
   

   On Unix or MacOS, run:

        $ source env/bin/activate

        (env) $ git clone https://github.com/EnCo-de/E-commerce.git
        
        (env) $ cd E-commerce
   

3. Install Django and Dependencies into this dedicated development workspace:

   Since you’re working on an existing project with its dependencies already pinned in a requirements.txt file, you can install the right Django version as well as all the other necessary packages in a single command:

        (env) $ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

   With your virtual environment set up and activated and Django installed, you can now create a project:

        (env) $ django-admin startproject <project-name> .
   

   The dot skips the top-level project folder and creates your management app and the manage.py file right inside your current working directory.
