Hi, I would highly recommend you to work with virtual environments here. E.g., look into Anaconda/Miniconda (http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html, http://conda.pydata.org/docs/using/using.html), which makes this process most convenient in my opinion. Alternatively, I would use Python’s virtualenv (http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/).
