Could you please explain the process of installing Merlin in a step-by-step manner? I'm not very familiar with technical procedures and I'd like to ensure I follow all the necessary steps correctly. Additionally, is there a specific version of Merlin that is recommended for new users, or does it not matter which one I install? Also, is there a prerequisite software or hardware that I need to have before attempting the installation?

Setting up a virtual environment is crucial for managing dependencies effectively in software projects. To initiate this process, execute the command `python3 -m venv venv` in your terminal. This command creates a new virtual environment named 'venv' within your current directory.

Once the virtual environment has been created, it must be activated before you can install any Python packages into it. The activation process differs slightly between operating systems. For Unix-like systems, including macOS and Linux, you typically run `source venv/bin/activate`. For Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`.

With the virtual environment activated, you can now proceed to install the necessary packages for your project. For instance, to install the `merlin` package, you would run `pip3 install merlin`. This command downloads and installs the latest version of the `merlin` package and its dependencies within your virtual environment.

To verify that `merlin` has been successfully installed, you can check its version by running `merlin --version`. This command should output the installed version number, confirming that the package is ready for use.

When you have completed your work within the virtual environment, it's important to deactivate it before exiting the terminal or starting a new project. To deactivate the virtual environment, simply run `deactivate` (or `venv\Scripts\deactivate` on Windows). This command will return you to your system's default Python environment.
