+## Setting up virtual environment
+
+To be able to isolate project environment we'll use
+[Python's venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html).
+
+### Setting up new environment and installing dependencies
+
+```shell
+# Create VirtualEnv directory
+python -m venv ./.venv
+# Loading environment
+source .venv/bin/activate
+# Installing dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### Adding dependencies
+
+```shell
+# Installing new dependency
+pip install somedependency
+# Rewriting dependency file
+pip freeze > requirements.txt
+```
+
+**Do not forget** to install the latest dependencies before adding new dependencies and rewriting
+the `requirements.txt` file. Otherwise old dependencies could be lost.
