Make a separate ``lpschedule-generator`` directory and initialize the
virtual environment in it::

  $ mkdir lpschedule-generator
  $ cd lpschedule-generator

  $ virtualenv -p python3 .
  $ source bin/activate

Install ``lpschedule-generator`` inside this directory using ``pip``::

  $ pip install lpschedule-generator
