Creating a QR Code

This repository contains a simple code snippet to generate a QR Code using Python and the qr-code package. The process involves setting up a virtual environment and installing necessary packages using pip. While the instructions are provided for a Windows environment with a .venv virtual environment, the process can be adapted for conda environments and other operating systems.

Setting Up Virtual Environment

1. Ensure Python is installed on your computer.
2. Create a virtual environment using the following command:

python -m venv .venv

You can replace ".venv" with a different environment name if desired. More information in this website.

3. Activate the virtual environment by navigating to ".venv\Scripts\activate".

4. Once the virtual environment is activated, install the qrcode and pillow packages:

pip install qrcode pip install pillow

Generating QR Codes

• General QR Code Generation: You can customize the colors and add text (such as a title) to the QR Code. Use the General QR Code Notebook to generate a QR code for general propouses.

• Virtual Business Card (Vcard): This feature enables you to share your contact information using a QR Code. Use the Bussiness Card QR Code Notebook to generate a QR code with a Vcard.

Feel free to explore and modify the code to suit your needs!
