Create a Python3 virtual environment

If you are connecting to the network, running the sudo /opt/Citrix/VDA/bin/xdping or /opt/Citrix/VDA/sbin enable_ldaps.sh command can create a Python3 virtual environment. However, if the commands fail to create a Python3 virtual environment, you can create it manually even without a network connection. This article details the prerequisites and steps to create a Python3 virtual environment without a network connection.

Prerequisites

• You must have administrative privileges to access the /opt/Citrix/VDA/sbin/ctxpython3 directory.
• The wheel files of Python3 packages are in place. You can download the wheel files from https://pypi.org/.
