FIRST look for one that already exists — `ls`/`find` for `.venv/`, `venv/`, or `env/` in the project root, and check whether the project is tool-managed (a `poetry.lock`, `uv.lock`, or `Pipfile.lock` means you install with `poetry add` / `uv add` / `pipenv install` and never touch a venv yourself). Create one ONLY if that search finds nothing: `python3 -m venv .venv`. Either way, install through that venv's own interpreter — `.venv/bin/pip install …`, `.venv/bin/python …` — which exists once the venv does.",
