---

✅ Step 4 — Create Virtual Environment

Using default Python:

uv venv

Or specify a Python version:

uv venv --python 3.14

This creates:

.venv/

✅ Step 5 — Activate Environment

Mac / Linux

source .venv/bin/activate

Windows CMD

.venv\Scripts\activate.bat

Windows PowerShell

.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
