The next step is to create a virtual environment for your project and use it to install Datasette's dependencies::
cd datasette
# Create a virtual environment in venv/
python3 -mvenv venv
# Create a virtual environment in ./venv
python3 -m venv ./venv
# Now activate the virtual environment, so pip can install into it
source venv/bin/activate
# Install Datasette and its testing dependencies
pip install -e .[test]
python3 -m pip -e .[test]
That last line does most of the work: ``pip install -e`` means "install this package in a way that allows me to edit the source code in place". The ``.[test]`` option means "use the setup.py in this directory and install the optional testing dependencies as well".
