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

This worked for me:

You can simply open a normal (you do not need elevated access) cmd or powershell session (I use the embedded PS terminal in vscode) and type the following from the folder where the script file is e.g.: .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1:

powershell.exe -executionpolicy unrestricted -command .\Activate.ps1 -Scope CurrentUser

and then you can run the activate command after that.

Note: This will only allow that specific Script to run, and only by your logged in user.
