Note that "activating" a venv is typically not necessary (I never do it), you just have to make sure to type the full path to executables in the bin directory of the venv when running them, or add that directory to PATH in your shell environment.
I don't recommend the latter to folks who aren't experienced with Python. It can be confusing if you get a different Python from the one you expect due to upgrades/installations of other Python versions. Typing full paths or creating shell aliases/functions containing the full path is safe.
