title: Should I activate venv in VS code terminal then PIP install, or as long as bottom left shows venv I am good to go?
body: <p>When the bottom left of VScode shows the venv python after selecting the venv python as the interpreter:
  - Should I still activate the venv in VScode terminal to PIP install?</p>
  
  <p>Or, since the venv python shows up in the bottom left:
  - Can I just go straight to PIP installing a package?</p>
  
  <p>Just getting used to VS code, maybe just not understanding the layout. </p>
  
  <p>Thank You </p>
