How do I activate my virtual environment using PyCharm? Can I even activate it in PyCharm?

I have am slightly confused about the local and command prompt in the terminal section of PyCharm. Could someone explain to me what the differences are?
Also, how do i activate my virtual environment from PyCharm, as i need it to run selenium (i placed it in a separate virtual environment). Do I use command prompt or local. I tried using local and when i type activate.bat in my Scripts folder, I come across this error message:
activate.bat : The term 'activate.bat' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Suggestion [3,General]: The command activate.bat was not found, but does exist in the current location. Windows PowerShell does not load commands from the current location by default. If you trust this command, instead type: ".\activat
e.bat". See "get-help about_Command_Precedence" for more details.

Can someone assist me on how i can activate my virtual enviornment via PyCharm?

Yes, you can activate your virtual environment in Pycharm. Pycharm configures an interpreter for each project, and by default uses the system Python interpreter if not otherwise specified. To use the virtual environment's interpreter do the following:
Settings > Project > Python Interpreter
Click on the cog next to the path, and select Add... to add a new interpreter
Select existing environment, and enter the path of the venv
Click OK
After doing this Pycharm will do some indexing, and the next time you run your program it should run using that virtual environment.

Module Not Found - virtual Environment

I am getting in error
I am currently using mac
I have created a virtual environment - name of virtual environment: venv
Even if I have installed the modules I am getting module not found error.
I have tried many things
pip list gave me output which shows that the pandas is installed
I also did -> sys.path
The path to my virtual environment is this :
/Users/nidhivanjare/Desktop/ML/venv

The reason might be because you transferred your virtual environment folder to another location (or you copied it from another computer)
This is how to fix it:
Open the /Scripts/activate file inside your virtual environment folder.
Go to the line that has this:
VIRTUAL_ENV="$(if [ "$OSTYPE" "==" "cygwin" ]; then cygpath -u 'Z:\<your NEW folder>'; else echo '/Z/<your NEW folder>'; fi;)"
Change the path to the new location of your virtual environment.
Change it from
Z:\<your OLD folder> and /Z/<your OLD folder>
to
Z:\<your NEW folder> and /Z/<your NEW folder>
If you are using the Command Prompt of Windows, you also have to change the path in the file /Scripts/activate.bat
set "VIRTUAL_ENV=Z:\<folder>"

The standard venv needs a dot before the activate command, like
. ./venv/bin/activate. The first dot is your shell's source command.

VS Code automatically activating virtual environment

I was at first prompted to enter the virtual environment being used in my project by vs-code, and so I accepted.
Even though I'm now in a different project folder, it still tries to enter the non-existent virtual environment automatically (I clicked Don't show me again on the popup so it doesn't ask anymore). When I run a python program, the terminal runs the following command:
PS C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0> & "c:/filepath/virtual_env/Scripts/Activate.ps1"
and then I recieve this error:
& : File c:\filepath\virtual_env\Scripts\Activate.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system. For more information, see
about_Execution_Policies at https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.
At line:1 char:3
+ & "c:/filepath ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : SecurityError: (:) [], PSSecurityException

How can I disable automatically activating the virtual environment?

The venv docs have a note about how to change your execution policy: Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser (requires Python 3.8, otherwise you need to use a different execution policy).
As for turning off automatic environment activation, "python.terminal.activateEnvironment": false will do it as covered by the environments docs for the Python extension point out.

virtualenv activate does not work

I am trying to create a virtual environment to test an api.
I can create the environment just fine using virtualenv test, then I can cd into it. When I try to run activate, I get this error:
PS C:\Users\Bright Bridge\Desktop\autocomplete_demo\Scripts> activate
activate : The term 'activate' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if

Suggestion [3,General]: The command activate was not found, but does exist in the current location. Windows PowerShell does not load commands from the current
location by default. If you trust this command, instead type: ".\activate". See "get-help about_Command_Precedence" for more details.
I recently updated windows, and it replaced the cmd with Windows Powershell. My virtualenv worked fine with the cmd, so I suspect it may have to do with the way the Powershell does things.
How can I activate the virtualenv?

If you press WindowsKey + R, and type cmd when the box comes up, it should bring up the command line interface instead of powershell!

For those of you still interested, the output gives you the answer:
If you trust this command, instead type: ".\activate".
So use a relative path name to run the activate script in powershell, or use an absolute path

You need to set windows execution policies. According to official documentation of virtualenv.
Run in powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUse
Now you can activate virtual env. using \Scripts\Activate.ps1
Hope it solves it!

Just Enter one PowerShell Command
.\Scripts\activate
Rather Then
./Scripts/activate

Execute .\activate instead of activate
That worked for me.

You basically needs to set execution policy for PowerShell
Step 1: Run PowerShell as Administartor
Step 2: Run Below Command
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
After successfull run, You will be able to activate vertual environemnt.
Enjoy :)

after jumping to Scripts folder
cd Scripts
just write .\activate
It works perfectly

On my windows I use this way with gitbash
cd .myenv/Scripts
then navigate and type
activate
works for me

first make virtualenv with virtualenv pymote_env
Activate environment: pymote_env\Scripts\activate
in your case:-
first make virtualenv with virtualenv test
Activate environment: test\Scripts\activate
http://pymote.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install/windows_virtualenv.html

Use command pompt instead of using power-shell
and run the same command
this should work

Instead of all variants it works with C:...venv\scripts .\activate.ps1
But before that, I changed my ExecutionPolicy to RemoteSigned. You can do it by next steps.
Enter Set-ExecutionPolicy
Enter RemoteSigned
System should ask you if u wish to save changes. Answer with "Y"
enter image description here

1.Just add the complete path in cmd like this " cd.\pyenvDjango\Scripts" and press enter,
Now you see the complete directory path in which you are.
Now just type ".\activate".
this will activate your env.
NOTE:- try this in cmd not in vs code terminal or any where

I can't install 'pip' for python

I'm going trough the book Learn Python The Hard Way and i need to install pip.(ex46,ex47)
So i saved get-pip.py on my computer and in powershell i did :
PS C:\Users\Toto\pip> python Get-pip.py
Downloading/unpacking pip
Installing collected packages: pip
Successfully installed pip
Cleaning up...
but then when i try: PS C:\Users\Toto\pip> pip
i get this error:
pip : The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the s
pelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

C:\Python27\Scripts\ is already on my path.
I can't figure this out. If some one could please help me.
note: i'm on windows 8 and this is with python 2.7

Whenever I've installed pip on my Windows machine, it installs to my Python's Scripts folder:
c:\Python34\Scripts
So to get pip to run on the command line, I had to add that path to my PATH environment variable. You can get to those settings by doing the following (assuming Windows 7 or newer):
Right click My Computer and choose Properties
Go to Advanced system settings
Click on the Environment Variables button
Double-click the PATH (or Path) variable listed under System variables
Add c:\Python34\Scripts to the end of the list of other paths making sure that it is separated from the previous entry with a semi-colon
Restart your shell and try running pip. If it still doesn't work, you need to find out where pip got installed. In my Scripts folder, I have a pip.exe file. If you do not, then adding the Scripts folder to your path won't help. You'll have to figure out where it got installed and add that path instead.

You can copy zklib in the odoo server folder and restart the odoo server and it should work.

For windows users If the above solution does not help then make sure your python folder is in the right place to do so, go to the windows search bar and type python then right-click open location folder and copy the path and paste it in the environment variables
for more explanation check the following [link ]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4yJi-cpwWk

What you have to do is you have to first give your Python path then you have to give your Scripts path.
First delete that Scripts path and now click on new button copy the python path and paste it.
Second , click on the new button and copy the Scripts path and paste it.
Now, I think your problem will be solved.
