Activating virtual environment environment

Question

please for a while now i've been trying to activate virtual environment for my windows 7 machine; I've run commands like env\Scripts\activate where env is the installed virtual environment folder in the project, but each time i run the command, it gives me an error like: activate is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Please what could be the problem, what should i do?

Answer 1

Do you have activate.bat inside Scripts folder? If yes, run that. If not, delete everything and run python -m venv env again and let me know what happens. Please note that you may change env to whatever you want.
