You need to create an environment that allows you to work without conflicts with other projects or tasks, but before all of that, it is better to work with WSL Ubuntu or other Linux distributions because it is faster in production and easier to use and set up any environment.

conda create -n mini-rag-app python=3.8 # to create vir env
conda activate mini-rag-app # to get inside that env
