Activating a virtual environment in Python 3 on Windows 10

Question

To create a virtual environment I used:

virtualenv -p C:\\Users\\UserName\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36-32\\python.exe ve

However I'm not able to activate it. I tried using:

C:\\Users\\UserName\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36-32\\python.exe\\ve\\bin\\activate

and

source ve/bin/activate

And neither worked. I looked around the site and couldn't get any of the suggestions to work either (most of the questions I saw were on different OS/Python versions so that might be part of the issue).

Is the actual set up for creating a virtual environment correct? If so, how can I activate it?

Answer 1

In Windows:

Run ve\\Scripts\\activate.bat

In Linux:

source /path/to/ENV/bin/activate
