Incase you are using Anaconda / miniconda on windows - in your command prompt use

conda activate <your-environmentname>

e.g. peopleanalytics is name of my virtual environment - Is say

conda activate peopleanalytics

The best way is, using backward slahes and using .bat at the end of activate

C:\Users>your_env_name\Scripts\activate.bat
