Windows Issues
--------------

* Some people have reported issues using git bash; try using the Command Terminal instead.

* Virtual environments can sometimes be tricky on Windows. If you have Python 3.6 or above installed (recommended), this should get you a virtualenv named ``myenv`` created inside the current folder:

.. code-block:: powershell

    > c:\Python35\python -m venv myenv

Or:

.. code-block:: powershell

    > c:\Python35\python c:\Python35\Tools\Scripts\pyvenv.py myenv

* Some people have reported that they have to re-activate their virtualenv whenever they change directory, so you should remember the path to the virtualenv in case you need it.
