  • I don't think, this is meant for windows, but specifically *nix platforms. For windows, i believe it is just running the activate.bat file Commented Aug 28, 2020 at 7:07

1.use cmd rather that cmder

2.to create env use "python -m venv <name_of_your_env>"

3.after this check if it created the environment or no by using "dir"

4.to activate the environment use "<name_of_your_env>\Scripts\activate.bat"

5.to deactivate the environment use "deactivate"

6.to delete the environment completely use "rmdir <name_of_your_env> /s"
