c:\users\176226\anaconda3\Lib\venv\scripts\nt\python.exe

The above path is of Python executable not the environment source file.

Assuming that you are using Python 3, you can follow the below steps to create and activate Python environment:

To create environment: python -m venv path/to/virtualenv

Example:

python -m venv .venv

The above command creates Python environment in current directory.

To activate the environment created in the previous step:

.venv\Scripts\activate

activate is the source script which activates the environment.

Pls. refer https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/creating-python-virtual-environment-windows-linux/ Windows section. If python is installed in your system, then pip comes in handy.
