3. Activate virtual environment

Assuming we are currently in the csod-project folder, then:

C:\Users\my_user\Documents\csod-project>ENV\Scripts\activate
(ENV) C:\Users\my_user\Documents\csod-project>

4. Install necessary requirements with pip

(ENV) C:\Users\my_user\Documents\csod-project>pip install -r requirements.txt
