Setting up and activating virtual environments with venv
differs between Unix and Windows operating systems.
Note: In this course, you’re using .venv
as the name of your virtual environment.
Creating and activating a virtual environment on a Unix system:
$ python3 -m venv ./.venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
Creating and activating a virtual environment on a Windows system: :
c:\> c:\Python35\python -m venv c:\path\to\.venv
c:\> .venv\Scripts\activate.bat
Here are some resources and additional documentation about setting up virtual environments:

Good explanation but it’s worth to mention that it’s not necessary to enter additional “./” during create a virtual environment.
python3 -m venv .venv
is enough.
