|

conda remove --name my-env

```

## Pyenv
|
||||
|
||||
[`Pyenv`](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) is a package that lets you manage multiple versions of Python.
|
||||
|
||||
To use Pyenv to manage our virtual environments we are going to install two additional extensions below:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
brew install pyenv
|
||||
brew install pyenv-virtualenv
|
||||
brew install pyenv-virtualenvwrapper
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Update .bashrc
|
||||
Add this command to your .bashrc file to make sure your virtual environment is initialized everytime you start a new terminal session.
|
||||
|
||||
For example using Vim I open up terminal and type:
|
||||
```
|
||||
vim ~/.bashrc
|
||||
```
|
||||
Then I add the below command to the file:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Install Python versions
|
||||
It's usually good to have at least both a Python 2 and Python 3 environment
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
pyenv install 3.6.0
|
||||
pyenv install 2.7.13
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Create an Environment
|
||||
|
||||
To create a virtual environment with Python 3 as the base with the name "my_cool_app":
|
||||
```
|
||||
pyenv virtualenv 3.6.0 my_cool_app
|
||||
```
|
||||
It's that easy. Another example using the Python 2.7.13 base that we created earlier:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
pyenv virtualenv 2.7.13 my_cool_app
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Activate an Environment
|
||||
|
||||
Before you can start using the environment you need to activate it:
|
||||
```
|
||||
pyenv activate my_cool_app
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Install Packages
|
||||
|
||||
First activate your virtual environment and then use pip like normal
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
pyenv activate my_cool_app
|
||||
pip install requests
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Deactivate an Environment
|
||||
|
||||
If you are done working with the virtual environment you can deactivate it with:
|
||||
```
|
||||
pyenv deactivate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Remove an Environment
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to remove the Python 2.7.13:
|
||||
```
|
||||
pyenv uninstall 2.7.13
|
||||
```

||||
