# Cd in
G:\div_code
λ cd pq_env\
# Activate with absolute path
G:\div_code\pq_env
λ G:\div_code\pq_env\Scripts\activate.bat
# Test pip,shall point to this folder

env\Scripts\activate.bat assumes env is a subfolder of the current folder. If you type dir<enter> you should see something like:

...shows the activate.bat file. When I run it, I get the following :
(venv) C:\Users\GreenBus\venv\Scripts>
Does the current directory get used as the virtual directory? Can I set it to my work directory, sorry I'm clueless...I'm going to investigate.

Then is activated test pip,but just follow my commands and give it better name as eg
pq_env(my fist command make this folder).
I use
cmder in demo.but commands is just the same in cmd or Poweshell.

< what is the purpose of this directory? Just so I know. I've not written batch files in .cmd before. Is this where you put all your Python modules?

It's just folder that i have made where have my python files/folders.
So it's has nothing to with batch files,it's just a ordinary folder folder you can make your own.
So when start in this folder then commands shown will make a new sub-folder there called pq_env.
I put my virtual environment in the root directory of the project I am working on. If you are using pycharm or vscode (or probably any of the IDE's) it doesn't matter where you put the virtual environment because they remember where it is.
If you named your virtual environement venv, then you would type "venv\Scripts\activate" to run it. I find in Windows that you don't have to type the .bat. You also don't have to worry about upper/lower case because windows doesn't care.
I now have the following running on my pc :
(pq_env) C:\Users\GreenBus\myPython\pq_env>
Now you just have to make sure you are running your virtual environment whenever you install any Python packages.
