How to do it...

  1. The original, normal way to create a virtual environment comprises three separate steps. First, the virtual environment is created:
      >>> python3 -m venv <dir_name>
  1. Next, the virtual environment is activated so it can be used:
      >>> source <dir_name>/bin/activate
  1. Finally, pip is used to install the necessary module:
      >>> pip install <module>
  1. To make this process easier, pipenv combines the pip and venv calls, so first we have to move to the desired directory where the virtual environment will be placed:
      >>> cd <project_name>
  1. Next, we simply call pipenv to create the environment and install the desired module:
      >>> pipenv install <module>
  1. Use pipenv to call the shell command and wait for the shell to be created. Observe that a virtual environment has been created and the command prompt is now activated within the environment. The following screenshot includes the commands from the previous steps, for clarity:
