To activate this project's virtualenv, run pipenv shell.
Alternatively, run a command inside the virtualenv with pipenv run.

I need to install virtual environment and Django version in my directory C:\Users\38099\Desktop\courses>. But every time the location of virtual environment is C:\Users\38099\.virtualenvs\38099-inBhiGOL. Pipenv in my Powershell is installed. I also have folder .venv in my explorer, but it ignores it anyway, choosing different location.

If you want your virtualenv to be created in your project folder, and not in the default ~/.local/share/virtualenvs/ folder, set the environment variable PIPENV_VENV_IN_PROJECT to 1 (export PIPENV_VENV_IN_PROJECT=1 in your terminal).

See the pipenv doc
