Cannot activate my virtualenv in project folder, I get the error arguments required dest. (windows 10, Powershell)

Going through FreeCodeCamp Django: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5mRW0jo-U4&t
I have installed my virtual Environment on Windows 10 using Powershell, but when trying to activate my virtualenv I get the error arguments required dest.
Interestingly when I type virtualenv --version, in my project folder it will return the version. However when I type just virtualenv, I receive the error in the title. I am using powershell.
Having trouble activating / deactivating..

from_the_docs: virtualenv is just a module. You need to create an environment after installing this module. You can do this by running:
python3 -m venv env1
and then activate this envi environment by running command
env1\Scripts\activate

Navigating to Pycharm Virtual Environment

I created a new Python project and a virtual environment using Pycharm, however I am unable to navigate to the virtual environment using Ubuntu terminal. Could anyone share how I could enter the virtual environment through the Ubuntu terminal and run python files with the packages available in that specific environment.
My pycharm terminal shows this by default:
(conditional_slim_gan) arsh#Arsh:~/Desktop/machine learning/Outlier_dataset$

To activate the created virtual environment, run the following command in ubuntu terminal:
source /Desktop/machine learning/Outlier_dataset/bin/activate

How to install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper properly? [duplicate]

Could anyone please help me with how to fix the virtuaenv issue on windows 10 - 64-bit pc. I repeatedly keep getting this error while I try to create a virtual env using windows Powershell/Command windows to install Django projects
Error message "mkvirtualenv : The term 'mkvirtualenv' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable
program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again."
Appreciate your advice

First thing first, create a new folder or directory where you want to create your virtual environment. Once done locate that folder through CMD prompt.
Now, To create virtual environment in command prompt you first need to create a virtual environment wrapper first and with the help of that you can create virtual environment. Make sure you have python in your system before following below steps, type these commands one by one in your CMD prompt:
pip install virtualenvwrapper-win
mkvirtualenv name
note: in second code you can choose any name for your virtual environment
note: You will see something like this in your CMD prompt (name) C:\Users....
now install django in this virtual environment, just type the following command
pip install django
All done !
Extras (optional)
To check django version:
django-admin --version
(Type this command in your virtual environment only)
To work again on the same virtual environment:
workon name
( In place of enter the name of your virtual environment)
To stop virtual environment:
deactivate
( Yup, only this one code)
And then exit, happy coding :)

The package which will provide "mkvirtualenv" has not been installed on your computer or your computer cannot locate where it is.
These packages below should be installed:
pip install virtualenv
pip install virtualenvwrapper-win

i also got the same problem and this how i managed to overcome it
1- specify a directory/folder where you are to store the project using cmd ie for windows
create a folder eg on desktop to store the project
C:\Users\zack>cd desktop
create a virtual environment folder on desktop using venv in the terminal
C:\Users\zack\Desktop>py -m venv django_project
activate the virtual environment using scripts\activate.bat
C:\Users\zack\Desktop>django_project\scripts\activate.bat
you will see the virtual environment project on the desktop as shown below
(django_project) C:\Users\zack\Desktop>
at the end a virtual environment folder is created on the desktop

How can I activate a virtualenv virtual environment in the anaconda prompt?

I am fairly new to using virtual environments for python projects but I have spent many hours trying to resolve this issue I've been having through various posts on this site and on others and have come up short. I have even resorted to uninstalling all python distributions and reinstalling with no luck.
I have the anaconda distribution of python installed on Windows 10. I have the problem that after I create a virtual environment, called venv, in a project folder I am unable to then activate this virtual environment using the anaconda prompt to install packages through pip. What I have done so far is as follows:
(base) C:\Users\[User]\Documents\GitHub\[project_folder]> virtualenv venv
This then successfully creates a virtual environment folder in my project folder called venv. Working in this directory I navigate to:
(base) venv> cd Scripts
(base) venv\Scripts> activate
There are a number of activate files to choose from and neither turns the environment from base to env as expected.
The reason I am using anaconda prompt as opposed to the standard command prompt or Windows PowerShell is because when I'm using the pip install <package> anywhere but in the anaconda prompt I get an error message that reads:
WARNING: pip is configured with locations that require TLS/SSL, however the ssl module in Python is not available.
I'm not sure what this means and have tried to do some googling to solve this issue but to no avail. Note I do not have this issue when working on python projects on my MacBook and I can easily enter virtual environments and install the packages there with no issues. I'm relatively new to Windows so perhaps I'm missing something here...?
An interesting observation is that I can enter any virtual environment I've created through Windows PowerShell but I encounter the pip problem described above when trying to install packages into this environment.
I'm desperate for some help resolving this issue as it's greatly hindering the work on all my projects, and unfortunately I cannot just use my MacBook to code either.

use those command for python virtualenv
For activate
WINDOWS: activate nameofvenv
LINUX, macOS: source activate nameofvenv
For deactivate
WINDOWS: deactivate
macOS, LINUX: source deactivate

creating python virtual environment on windows 7

I wanted to create a python virtual environment in Windows 7.
I have installed activepython 2.7 32 bit version and installed virtualev using pip command. After that I created a folder named "virtualenv", on drive C. For that folder I have executed the following command.
virtualenv <virtualenv-name>
While executing this command it opens a python file named virtualenv.py. While closing the file, it does not prompt to be saved.
While checking on C:\virtualenv\ I was not getting the virtual environment that I tried to create.

From command line execute:
virtualenv MY_ENV
It will create a virtual env in MY_ENV folder. Than activate it:
MY_ENV\Scripts\activate
Also check the virtualenv user guide.

conda create --name myvirtualenv python=2.7 numpy
This will create a virtual environment of python 2.7 with just numpy or pandas or the full package based on the parameter

First, open cmd and go to the directory where you want your virtual env to be present.
while writing this I have 3.7.5 python installed on my PC.
write below command on cmd.
py -m venv.
for activation of the virtual environment.
open Scripts folder and click on activate file,
