10,120 PointsYou need to give me more information. What problem do you have with it? Installing it? Activating it? Exiting it?
Most people have trouble activating it on windows. The way to do it is to specifically type out the whole address of the location of the venv and then follow it with activate.
for example: yourvenv\Scripts\activate
this will activate the venv so you can start working with it.

Treehouse Guest TeacherWhen you open your shell, and you type pip, does it give you an error or show a bunch of help text? What about when you do python --version?

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou're running those inside the Python shell. You need to run them from your Windows shell.

Kenneth Love
Treehouse Guest TeacherSalman Fakhri using cmd.exe doesn't mean you're not using the Python shell. If you're seeing >>> on the left-hand side (or ...), you're in the Python shell and need to exit() before you run commands.
