Having a separate python environment for Image Processing

When I wanted to have a separate environment for image processing, I checked out my disk space. Unfortunately i didn’t have space to install anaconda. Anaconda takes too much space because it has a Package Manager with a GUI, in addition to the EnvironmentManager.

(if not managed correctly anaconda may take too much space)

I won’t need a fancy GUI, so I thought of going withvirtualenv .

Btw, I installed jupyter lab as well,seems like jupyter lab is much more easier to use.

And finally i created an alias(shortcut) to activate the virtual environment as well, (wanna know how to do it inwindows ? orlinux /mac) ?

So whenever i want to activate my image processing environment I typeimgin the terminal, then just typejupyter labto start jupyter lab.
