virtualenv won't activate on windows

Question

Essentially I cannot seem to activate my virtualenv environment which I create.

I\'m doing this inside of windows powershell through using

scripts\\a         


        

Answer 1

in windows you should activate the virtual environment by following command in cmd

E:\your_environment\Scripts>activate.bat

if the environment is activated then it show your environment name enclosed with bracket like this

(your_environment) E:\your_environment\Scripts>

Also we can ensure by checking with where.exe it will list our active python environment with order of hierarchy

 (your_environment) E:\your_environment\Scripts>where.exe python

 E:\your_environment\Scripts\python.exe

 C:\Python27\python.exe

if you need to deactivate then do

(your_environment) E:\your_environment\Scripts>deactivate.bat
