Method 1 (recommended): virtualenv + pip + pipx -> distributed management
----------------------------------------------------
Step 1: Install pipx
python3 -m pip install pipx

Step 2: Install Virtual environment
pipx install virtualenv

Step 3: Create dir to store venv
virtualenv <venv dir name> -> default python interpreter
or
virtualenv -p <target python interpreter> <venv dir name> -> specify which python interpreter

Step 4: Activate venv
source <venv dir>/bin/activate

Step 5: Exist venv
deactivate

NOTE: When moving venv dir to other location, remember to update path in all files within venv dir
-> Tips: Open venv dir using vscode; use search & replace to replace /home/<user>/<old path> with /home/<user>/<new path>
