如何使用 Python 激活虚拟环境

Question

I am struggling to activate my virtual environment located here C:\Users\HP\project1_env .

I have tried the following commands -

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.165]
(c) 2018 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\HP>project1_env\scripts\activate

C:\Users\HP>project1_env\scripts\activate.bat

C:\Users\HP>cd project1_env\scripts\activate
The directory name is invalid.

C:\Users\HP>cd C:\Users\HP\project1_env\Scripts

C:\Users\HP\project1_env\Scripts>activate

C:\Users\HP\project1_env\Scripts>cd C:\Users\HP\project1_env\Scripts\activate
The directory name is invalid.

C:\Users\HP\project1_env\Scripts>C:\Users\HP\project1_env\Scripts\activate.bat

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Update

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.165]

C:\Users\HP>project1_env\scripts\activate

C:\Users\HP>project1_env\scripts\activate

C:\Users\HP>python manage.py runserver
python: can't open file 'manage.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

C:\Users\HP>python -c "import sys; print(sys.executable)"
C:\Users\HP\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\python.exe

C:\Users\HP>

Answer 1

You should run python manage.py runserver in the directory of your Django project, not where your virtual environment is placed. Try changing directory to where your manage.py file is placed and try again.

Also, to activate your virtual environment, you should run this command: %PATH_TO_YOUR_VENV_DIRECTORY\Scripts\activate

I hope this answers your question.

Answer 2

I consider that your project is located in C:\Users\HP and from there you should run project1_env\Scripts\activate and then move to where your manage.py file is located and run
python manage.py runserver if you didn't activate your virtual environment you will get an error saying Django module is not found error .
