OS: Lubuntu 16.04

I installed python virtual environment using: sudo pip3 install virtualenv after that I created a new virtualenv using: virtualenv -p python3 env3

Already using interpreter /usr/bin/python3 Using base prefix '/usr' New python executable in /some_path/env3/bin/python3 Also creating executable in /some_path/env3/bin/python Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.

Then whenever I try to activate the environment, nothing happens! I used: ./env3/bin/activate and nothing happens after that. I read that when an environment is activated it is added to the prompt to be something like:

(environment_name) me@machine:/some_path$

But nothing happens when I try to activate it. I thought it might just be something wrong with prompt GUI but when I try: deactivate the result is: deactivate: command not found which means the environment is not activated. I also tried: sudo ./env3/bin/activate and source /env3/bin/activate but nothing worked :( .
