How do I activate my virtual environment in Windows?

Question

I'm using VSC and trying to activate my virtual environment through its terminal.

I've navigated to the project folder in terminal and ran:

virtualenv ll_env which seems to successfully create the virtual environment.

Now I tried to run ll_env/bin/activate and ll_env\Scripts\activate.bat to activate it but doesn't seem to do anything. Supposedly when I have activated it I'm supposed to see (ll_env)learning_log in terminal. Please help. I've attached a screenshot as well.

Answer 1

try this. I'm using Windows too. And working for me

cd Scripts
activate

Answer 2

Select Activate.ps1 and right-click to choose copy path, then paste it to terminal, press Enter to activate virtual environment:

And, with the default setting if you never change it:

"python.terminal.activateEnvironment": true

pressing `Ctrl+Shift+ to open a new terminal will activate the virtual environment automatically.

Answer 3

Use the following:

.\ll_env\Scripts\activate
