 # Starting A Django Project
 
-First thing to do is to install the latest version of [python](https://www.python.org/downloads/ "python.org") and then use the python package manager `pip` to install django globally.
+If you haven't done so, make sure you already have python installed. To install the latest version of python, go to the official site [python.org](https://www.python.org/downloads/ "python.org") and download the latest version for your operating system. I will be using Linux and the bash terminal.
+
+Before starting any python project, it is best to create a virtual environment. Virtual environments create a project level separation of modules and libraries so that every project gets a version of the modules they need without effecting anything globally. 
+
+To start, we need to create the setup files for the virtual environment. We do this with the command:
+
+```bash
+python -m venv env
+```
+
+<br/>
+
+Then we need to activate the virtual environment. Run these commands bellow:
 
 ```bash
-python -m pip install Django
+# start the virtual environment
+source env/bin/activate
+
+# if you need to deactivate from a virtual environment, use command:
+deactivate
+```
+<br/>
+
+We have our virtual environment up and running. Let's get django added to our environment using pip, python's package manager:  
+
+```bash
+# Assuming you already have python installed, use pip to install packages
+pip install django
+
+# Or if you need a specific version
+pip install django==3.6
 ```

-After you get Django installed, it is time to create a project. Create a project folder and open it in your IDE (VSCode for me). When in this folder, select open folder and navigate to your newly created folder. Once open, open up the integrated terminal in the IDE or simply navigate to the project folder in your systems main terminal application. In there you will create a Django project with this command:
