Activate If you haven’t already, activate the virtual environment:
Windows command prompt:
venv\Scripts\activate.bat
Windows Powershell:
.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
If you get an error with:
running scripts is disabled on this system
Run:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
This allows you to run any Powershell scripts at will. For more detail: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_execution_policies?view=powershell-7.3
Linux and MacOS:
source venv/bin/activate
You should now see
(venv)
in the prompt line.Confirm the virtual environment uses Python 3.8:
python --version
Literally use
python
, none of the fancy stuff above.Example output:
Python 3.8.10
