Virtual Environment Setup

[prabh-brar]

Please advise what are we supposed to do when the "venv\Scripts\activate.bat" command is used to activate the virtual environment as advised in your video. Please help. I have added the screenshot as a reference to this issue

which console do you use?

[prabh-brar]

I am working on windows 11 and I have installed the VS code. I installed the python extension and took due care of how to choose the version of the Python compiler. Then I use the Command prompt to get into the virtual environment to start using pip command but this is not happening.

Kind regards Prabh

Hello! I faced the same as you using Windows 11. My solution was

.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

[ssgajalwar]

You can copy the path of file Activate.ps1 which is present in your venv/Scripts/Activate.ps1 (venv refers to name given to your virtual environment) and paste it in your powershell after that press enter it will start the virtual environment.
