The command "pyenv activate ${virtualenv_name}" is used to activate a specific virtual environment using pyenv.
Here's the breakdown of the command:
-
"pyenv": pyenv is a tool used to manage multiple Python versions on a system. It allows you to have multiple virtual environments with different Python versions installed.
-
"activate": This is the command to activate a specific virtual environment.
-
"${virtualenv_name}": This is a placeholder for the name of the virtual environment that you want to activate. Replace "${virtualenv_name}" with the actual name of your virtual environment.
When you run the command "pyenv activate ${virtualenv_name}", pyenv will activate the specified virtual environment. This means that the Python version and installed packages within that virtual environment will be used in your current shell session.
It's important to note that you need to have pyenv and the specified virtual environment installed on your system in order for this command to work properly.
