How to use python-wheel code in python shell?

Question

I try to learn how to create a Python library. But I have a problem with activating a virtual environment. To be more specific: I was told to do this:

code from Realpython: virtual environment .. I opened my console:


and paste the mentioned code:

$ python -m venv env && source ./env/bin/activate
$ python -m pip install -U pip wheel setuptools
Successfully installed pip 20.1 setuptools-46.1.3 wheel-0.34.2

But It was rejected (and I couldn't find on the internet why is that - probably the solution is simple, but I don't even know how to post a proper question to find it):


I tried to pate this code without dollar sing but it won't work too, also replacing $ with ! won't work.


I don't know why it doesn't work and what version of this code should I use.

can you help me?
