Run-platypush-in-a-virtual-environment.md

@ -2,6 +2,7 @@ You can run a Platypush instance in a [Python virtual environment](https://docs.
* You won't have to install dependencies at system level and you can easily create instances in user space
* The available tools will take care for the required dependencies depending on your configuration. Just write your `config.yaml` and Platypush will figure out which dependencies are required by the plugins you wish to use
* You can easily copy environments to other machines, as all the required dependencies and configuration for the application to run will all be inside of the `~/.local/share/platypush/<my-device>` folder
* You can create multiple instances on the same machine and easily start, stop and remove them. Note however that this option will use more disk space compared to a system installation if you decide to use virtual environments: each environment will install its own set of dependencies instead of relying on those available on the system.
The project comes with `platyvenv`, that will be installed in your prefix upon Platypush installation. You can use it to build, remove, start, stop and list Platypush virtual environments.
