Scripts directory is missing from Virtual Environment

Question

There is no directory call Scripts

There is no directory called Scripts. How can I activate?

Please help me to solve this.

What's in `bin`? How did you create this virtual environment? `py -m venv myvenv` gives me `Scripts` instead of `bin` on Windows. — Mark Tolonen, Mar 31 '22 at 21:59
inside bin there is activate file. But I don't know how to actuvate. What command should I use? — Sourab M Kalliyan, Mar 31 '22 at 22:02

Check the line "Home" in pyvenv.cfg, it can differ from your python interpreter location. In my case it was home = C:\msys64\mingw64\bin, so this caused another project structure without the "Scripts" directory.

You can configure interpreter location in PATH variables and try to create a virtual environment again.

This helped me track down the problem. After a quick uninstall/reinstall, all is well. Thanks! – no-one Mar 09 '23 at 21:45

I faced the same issue but after lots of research, i found some outcomes which i want to share with you... Please follow my steps sequentially:

python3 -V // check the version of python like 3.8.1
sudo apt install python3-venv // for installing the latest virtual environment library
python3 -m venv my-project-env //create virtual environment, where you can change name of my-project-env into your requirement name..
source my-project-env/bin/activate // activate your evnironment

NOTE: point no-4, please add source word in your command while run point no 4 commands on your terminal.
