title: Creating a new environment once virtualenv has been installed
body: <p>I have successuly installed <code>virtualenv</code> using <code>pip install virtualenv</code>. Then i created a new environment under </p>
  
  <pre><code>(base) C:\Users\xxxxxx\PythonScripts\TwitterTutorial&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>using the command <code>virtualenv myenv</code>
  then as expected a new environment is created under </p>
  
  <p><code>C:\Users\xxxx\PythonScripts\TwitterTutorial\myenv</code></p>
  
  <p>The next step is to activate this environment using this command</p>
  
  <pre><code>(base) C:\Users\xxxx\PythonScripts\TwitterTutorial&gt;.\myenv\Scripts\activate
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My issue is that the response is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(myenv) (base) C:\Users\XXXXXX\PythonScripts\TwitterTutorial&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As you can see, the <code>myenv</code> environment is activated on top of the <code>base</code> one. I found that weird because i expected a response similar to this</p>
  
  <pre><code>(myenv) C:\Users\XXXXXX\PythonScripts\TwitterTutorial&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Maybe the command <code>.\myenv\Scripts\activate</code> is wrong?</p>
  
  <p>On a different note, i have created environments in the past and to activate them i usually do <code>conda activate env</code> and it worked successfully for that particular task (not for this one unfortunately)
  Many Thanks for your help</p>
