 If you need to edit the source code of PCT, or tune the compilation process, then you need to manually compile PCT. PCT depends on [ITK](https://itk.org) and [RTK](https://openrtk.org), the first step is therefore to download and compile them.
 
+### Create a Python virtual environment
+
+If you want to use PCT as a Python module, it's preferable to create a new virtual environment. NumPy is also mandatory to compile ITK Python wrappings. A virtual environment can for instance be created using `venv`:
+```bash
+python -m venv venv_pct
+source venv_pct/bin/activate
+pip install numpy

 ### Compiling ITK and RTK
 
 RTK comes bundled as an ITK module, so it is enough to download ITK and compile it with an option that indicates that RTK is also required. First, clone ITK from GitHub:

 `ITK_WRAP_PYTHON` mean that ITK will generate and compile Python wrapping for the C++ code, which is also supported by PCT. This option massively increases compilation time, so if Python wrappings are not needed, this option can be disabled. `Module_RTK` enables the compilation of RTK, which is required for PCT.

 Depending on your machine and whether `ITK_WRAP_PYTHON` is on, compiling ITK can take from few minutes up to several hours.
