How to run virtual environment in python

Question

Following docs on creating virtual environment, I created a virtual environment using,

python3 -m venv ./venv

traversing the ./venv directory lists the virtual environment related files.

bin
include
lib
pyvenv.cfg

Now, how do I run my virtual environment ? Also, where are my actual packages / links to actual packages are stored ?

This question appears to ask StackOverflow to read out the documentation. Instead of the technical documentation, perhaps examine a guide: https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/ — Grismar, Mar 11 '20 at 07:38
Read further down in that documentation to the part where it says *"Once a virtual environment has been created, it can be “activated”…"*… — deceze, Mar 11 '20 at 07:38

You have to activate the environment. To do that run the following command

source bin/activate.
