Cannot continue the bash script after creating a virtual environment using pipenv

I'm writing a bash script that automates the process of creating a django project and creating some folders and files that is necessary for a django project.

The problem here is, when I create and activate the virtual environment using the pipenv shell command, The virtual environment is created and activated but the next command is not executed. The script just waits to exit the virtual environment and when I exit/deactivate the virtual environment, then the next lines of the bash script gets executed.

My next line is pipenv install django. When this line is executed, django is installed in the virtual environment and again it waits for the user to exit the virtual environment and when I exit the environment, the next line is executed. But my next line is django-admin startproject myproject when this line is executed, I'm getting the error command not found. Yes I know why I'm getting this error. The environment is deactivated and it can't recognize the django-admin command.

Also, I'm running this script as a superuser. I'm using wsl2.

my code:

mkdir "django_project"
cd "django_project"
pipenv shell
pipenv install django
read -p "Enter your project name: " PROJECT_NAME
django-admin startproject "$PROJECT_NAME"
cd "$PROJECT_NAME"
pipenv lock -r > requirements.txt

Once I run this script, I get this in the command line,

Creating a Pipfile for this project...
Launching subshell in virtual environment...

To activate this project's virtualenv, run pipenv shell.
Alternatively, run a command inside the virtualenv with pipenv run.
Enter your project name: test_project1
create_django_project.sh: line 6: django-admin: command not found
create_django_project.sh: line 7: cd: test_project1: No such file or directory

After this I terminated the script with ^C

The Pipfile is created successfully. The requirements.txt file is also created and all the packages are updated in the requirements.txt file.

My question is how to continue the script after activating the environment without deactivating it?

I fixed this error by using just pip3 without pipenv

pip3 install django

in Super user mode use this command line

sudo -s

And it works for me My machine is UBUNTU 20.04 PYTHON VERSION 3.8.10
