Currency Converter GUI Application Using Tkinter Python

✍️ How to Set Up Your Virtual Environment

Before you start coding, you'll need to make sure you have all the necessary tools and libraries installed. To ensure that you have a clean and isolated environment, you'll create a virtual environment using venv.

Create a project directory and navigate to it in the terminal:

mkdir currency-converter
cd currency-converter

Create a virtual environment named env using the following command:

python -m venv env

Python now ships with the pre-installed venv library to create virtual environments.

Activate the virtual environment like this:

source env/bin/activate

Note: if you're on Windows, you'll need to use source env/Scripts/activate to activate the environment.

You should see (env) in your terminal prompt, indicating that the virtual environment has been activated.

How to Install the Libraries Now that you've created the virtual environment, you can install the following libraries:

requests: The library helps you send requests on API endpoints. python-decouple: The library helps you read the values of environment variables. pillow: The library adds image processing capabilities to your Python interpreter. To install the libraries, run the following command:

pip install requests python-decouple pillow
