Python setup : command not found

Question

Apologies if this is a basic question:

I have been trying to setup Python on my laptop by following the tutorial here. Under PIP, VIRTUALENV + VIRTUALENVWRAPPER<

Answer 1

I was having this same problem but got it to work a different way in Windows.

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv venv

.\venv\Scripts\activate.bat

The key here is running activate.bat rather than just activate. Once I did this and closed and opened cmd again and tried the normal

.\venv\Scripts\activate

it worked. I don't know why but it worked for me, hopefully it helps somebody else.
