Unfortunately, the windows installer doesn't provide full parity with the richer setup on unix-based systems (namely macOS and Linux).
Here are a few tips to help.
In the course, you see me using the which command. Windows has an equivalent command called where.
This has nothing to do with Python's setup of course, but often you need that command so we start here.
Once you've created a virtual environment via
python -m venv FOLDER_NAME
(Make sure this is python 3: python -V -> 3...)
You activate it differently. It's activate.bat is in scripts not bin (why?):
FOLDER_NAME/scripts/activate.bat
As noted above, pip3 and python3 are commands on unix systems but not windows (why?).
But you can easily create them. Just create two batch files and put them somewhere that is in your path (e.g. the same folder that contains python.exe for v3?).
pip3.bat
pip.exe
python3.bat
python.exe
That will run the local python and pip or the one first in your path depending where you locate the files.
This may make following along exactly with my commands easier.
