pip installing also needs source, but documentation does not state it #70

Installed into my system python using pip, and of course I needed to source the activate.sh file, but this is not mentioned in the README.md. Maybe it would be nice for novice users that it needs to be sourced. Of course, the location depends on where pip installs it. For me, on Mac it is:

/usr/local/bin/activate.sh

So running "source /usr/local/bin/activate.sh" and then CDing into the folder where the .env file is located should run the file correct? I'm having no such luck on my end even after the source.

On my mac with default shell I have in my ~/.bash_profile:

source /usr/local/bin/activate.sh

And it works from me...

:+1: @MatthewTanner, I'm using pip

The git example ended up working for me--just running the shell script did not activate autoenv and I'm confused.
