How can deactivate the virtual environment?

Question

The python version in my OS:

python3  --version
Python 3.9.2

Create a folder with venv.

python3  -m venv myproject

Now i can activate the virtual environment.

cd  myproject
~/myproject$ sh  bin/activate

I can't deactivate it,no deactivate script in the myproject.

tree -r  myproject | rg  deactivate
#Nothing as output

deactivate
bash: deactivate: command not found

How can deactivate the virtual environment then?

You haven't actually activated it properly. You must do e.g. `source bin/activate`. The terminal wil show different prompt when the venv is activated. — ekhumoro, Nov 12 '22 at 11:46

try writing "venv name deactivate"

or you might've not even activated it properly

use:

    source bin/activate
