+
+Setting up a Python virtual environment ensures that dependencies are managed effectively and do not interfere with other projects.
+
+1. **Create a Virtual Environment**
+
+   ```bash
+   python -m venv venv
+   ```
+
+2. **Activate the Virtual Environment**
+
+   On Unix or MacOS:
+
+   ```bash
+   source venv/bin/activate
+   ```
+
+   On Windows:
+
+   ```bash
+    powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
+   ```
+
+3. **Upgrade pip**
+
+   ```bash
+   python -m ensurepip
+   pip install --upgrade pip
+   ```
+
+4. **Install Dependencies**
+
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   pip install poetry
+   poetry lock
+   poetry install
+   ```
+
+   - Deactivate the Virtual Environment
+
+   When you're done, deactivate the environment:
+
+   ```bash
+    deactivate
+   ```
+
+### 🛸 Pre-Commit Hooks
+
+**Install and check pre-commit hooks**: MD files changes countermeasures, python format, python lint, yaml format, yaml lint, version control hook, changelog auto-generation
