I am having trouble activating my windows virtual enviornment

Using Django
1

For some reason my windows virtual environment will not work. I keep getting the error message

error message

$ project_env\Scripts\.activate.bat
bash: project_envScripts.activate.bat: command not found

current pwd output

$ pwd
/c/Users/Andrew/Desktop/Django_For_Beginners_Books/code/helloworld/project_env

I am running this command while in the
Instructions

Create a new virtual environment called .venv, activate it, and install Django with Pip as we did
in the previous chapter. We can also install Black now, too.

Shell

Windows

$ python -m venv .venv
$ .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
(.venv) $ python -m pip install django~=4.2.0
(.venv) $ python -m pip install black

project_env\Scripts\Activate.bat

So apparently there are different cli’s such as bash, Powershell, and command prompt.

I was told to run the following command in command prompt and it worked. But I really wish I could get this to work in powershell.
