P(ortable) V(irtual)env

This is Portable conda virtualenv. Just 1. download, 2. unarchive, 3. activate and 4. GO!

• = Works purely in userspace in the dir with just RW access. (No extra admin rights needed.) =
• = Isolated into its directory only. (In install time, not runtime.) =
• = Mutiplatform. (Build on the shoulder of the TITANS - anaconda.com.) =
• = Portable - you can just copy it to next place OR user. * (Until installed non-portable software.) =

/* Non-portable libraries hardcode the PATH where they are, thus making PVenv no more portable, despite works where installed. Read more here.

How to basic use

Linux AMD64 (+ docker)

(Requires $ apt install -y wget ca-certificates xz-utils.)

` # in the directory you want # download & unarchive wget -qO- https://.../venv3.10_lin_amd64.tar.xz | tar xvJf - # activate . venv3.10/bin/activate # ... and go, go, go! python -m pip install -U pip setuptools python -m pip install -U matplotlib python -c "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt; plt.plot(range(10), range(10,0,-1)); plt.show()" `

Linux ARM64 (+ docker in ARM MacOS)

(Requires `$ apt install -y wget ca-certificates xz-utils`.)

`bash # in the directory you want # download & unarchive wget -qO- https://.../venv3.10_lin_arm64.tar.xz | tar xvJf - # activate . venv3.10/bin/activate # ... and go, go, go! python -m pip install -U pip setuptools python -m pip install -U matplotlib python -c "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt; plt.plot(range(10), range(10,0,-1)); plt.show()" `

Windows AMD64 powershell (+ docker Win containers)

(Works for Win8+. You can use even .tar.xz archive instead of self-extracting .exe archive.)

`bash # in the directory you want # download Invoke-WebRequest "https://.../venv3.10_win_amd64.exe" -outfile venv.exe # unarchive & .\venv.exe -y -o. # activate . venv3.10/bin/activate # ... and go, go, go! python -m pip install -U pip setuptools python -m pip install -U matplotlib python -c "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt; plt.plot(range(10), range(10,0,-1)); plt.show()" `

Windows AMD64 cmd (+ docker Win containers)

(Works for Win8+. You can use even .tar.xz archive instead of self-extracting .exe archive.)

`bash # in the directory you want # download & unarchive wget -qO- https://.../venv3.10_win_amd64.tar.xz | tar xvJf - # activate venv3.10/bin/activate.bat # ... and go, go, go! python -m pip install -U pip setuptools python -m pip install -U matplotlib python -c "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt; plt.plot(range(10), range(10,0,-1)); plt.show()" `

MacOS AMD64

(Requires just core OS. Maybe check GateKeeper permissions.)

`bash # in the directory you want # download & unarchive curl https://.../venv3.10_mac_amd64.tar.xz | tar xvJf - # activate . venv3.10/bin/activate # ... and go, go, go! python -m pip install -U pip setuptools python -m pip install -U matplotlib python -c "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt; plt.plot(range(10), range(10,0,-1)); plt.show()" `

MacOS ARM64

(Requires just core OS. Maybe check GateKeeper permissions.)

`bash # in the directory you want # download & unarchive curl https://.../venv3.10_mac_arm64.tar.xz | tar xvJf - # activate . venv3.10/bin/activate # ... and go, go, go! python -m pip install -U pip setuptools python -m pip install -U matplotlib python -c "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt; plt.plot(range(10), range(10,0,-1)); plt.show()" `

Try something more advanced

You can install any package / software (even non-pythonic) in conda. Check official anaconda (https://anaconda.org/anaconda) OR conda-forge (https://anaconda.org/conda-forge) repositories.

Add ruby

`bash # once in working & activated env python -m conda install ruby # we do have ruby now ;-) ruby -e "print('Hi')" `

Add QGis

`bash # once in working & activated env python -m conda install qgis -c conda-forge # run qgis qgis `
