Firstly, for safety, only copy the whole project containing virtual env, assuming you have python libraries/modules installed in it.
And paste it into different place or folder
Open editor , open terminal (cmd), go into the directory where venv is present and activate it
e.g.
- My folder previous location was:
- D:\Ooumph_2025> <--i copied this to 'E' , don't worry below should work anywhere you paste
- E:\Ooumph_2025> <-- this is 'E' new place where i copied my main directory
- E:\Ooumph_2025>cd venv\Scripts <-- go into the venv
- E:\Ooumph_2025\venv\Scripts> activate.bat <-- activate the virtual env for new place 'E' (for windows) ...type the same in chatgpt for macos
- (.venv) E:\Ooumph_2025\venv\Scripts>cd.. <-- the directory is activated, now go back to Ooumph 2025
- (.venv) E:\Ooumph_2025\venv>cd..
- (.venv) E:\Ooumph_2025> python test.py <--now test your file, it should run
