@Eric-Arellano the blog doesn't mention explicitly deleting the current virtual environment. Is that implied when creating a new one? And do we need extra instructions on how to delete the current one?

The important thing is to have a new venv, either by creating a brand new one with a new name or by deleting the old one and recreating it. Imo recreating is often the easiest, where you e.g. rm -rf .venv then create a new one at .venv.

I'm not sure how best to do this, but I think we should make it clear somehow that this info is important for existing users of qiskit. Brand new users can use the install page as normal. Maybe just the header should be changed, or else the first line could tell people to skip this section if they are a new user?

Question for @javabster - Re: the headings below -- will the content under these headings in the blog also need to live somewhere in our docs? I hesitate to add on the Install page, in the interest of not overcrowding the text there, unless absolutely necessary. It would be nice to be able to point from the Install page to somewhere else.
