virtualenvwrapper

virtualenvwrapper is used to manage Python virtual environments.

pip install virtualenvwrapper

Optional Support

project-system benefits from the support of several optional packages.

Tmux

To get the most from project-system, use tmux.

To install tmux on Debian-like systems:

apt install tmux

Tab Completion

The project-workon script can auto-complete the names of projects. Shell support for either bash or zsh must be installed for tab completion to work correctly.

To install completion scripts:

mkdir ~/.completion.d
project-completion-init

Now the project-workon script supports auto-completion of projects by name.

Ensure ~/.bashrc contains the following:

for bcfile in ${COMPLETION_PATH}/* ; do
    [ -f "\$bcfile" ] && . \$bcfile
done
