CHESTER Application: skeleton

Create a directory for the West workspace and switch into it:

mkdir chester-app
cd chester-app

Note: The word chester-app in the title and command above should be replaced with your workspace name (and preferrably match a path/name of your Git repository). If you only have one application in the workspace, the name should contain the application name. Once done, do not forget to delete this note to avoid any future confusion.

Create Python virtual environment in the workspace:

python3 -m venv .venv

Note: If the command python3 cannot be found on your system, use python instead.

Activate the Python virtual environment:

source .venv/bin/activate

Note: This command should be .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 in Windows Powershell. Also, in case of the Fish shell, it is important to run the command as source .venv/bin/activate.fish.
