However, we realize working that way might be tricky for Anaconda users since Anaconda usually changes the configurations of your machine. If you are having too many problems getting started, then feel free to use the "conda way" of handling environments.  I.e.: create a virtual environment with `conda create --name foundations`.
 3. Activate the virtual environment with `source .venv/bin/activate` or `.venv\Scripts\activate` on Windows.
