If poetry is not installed, do so in order to continue This will install version 1.7.0. Adjust to your preference

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 - --version 1.7.0

To check if poetry is installed on your system. Type the following into your terminal

poetry -V

if you see a version returned, you have Poetry installed. The second command is to update poetry if its installed. (Always a good idea). If not, follow this link and follow installation commands for your systems requirements. If on windows, we recommend the powershell option for easiest installation. Using pip to install poetry will lead to problems down the road and we do not recommend that option. It needs to be installed separately from your standard python installation to manage your many python installations. Note: Python 2.7 is not supported

Some prefer Poetry's default storage method of storing environments in one location on your system. The default storage are nested under the {cache_dir}/virtualenvs.

If you want to store you virtual environment locally. Set this global configuration flag below once poetry is installed. This will now search for whatever environments you have in the root folder before trying any global versions of the environment in the cache.

poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true

For general instruction as to poetry's functionality and commands, please see read through poetry's cli documentation To select our poetry env. If it doesn't have the path to your global python version, you can always make a native one. Restart vscode and it will select that automatically after you have configured venv's to be stored locally above.

poetry env use python3.11

or 

python -m venv .venv

To install libraries

poetry install

To view the current libraries installed

poetry show

To view only top level library requirements

poetry show -T
