How to Set Up Python 3 + Django 1.10 + a Virtual Environment on MacOS Sierra

You will need an open Terminal.

Note: If you don't have Homebrew go to https://brew.sh in order to install it. It's simple. Maybe something as:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

If you don't have Python 3

brew install python3

Creating a directory for a new project

mkdir my_new_project

Let's go into the new directory:

cd my_new_project

Creating a Virtual Environment for the project

python3 -m venv myNewEnv

From here we need to activate the new environment:

source myNewEnv/bin/activate

pip install pillow

If you gonna use PostgreSQL

pip install psycopg2
