How to activate the environment#

As a quick reminder, here are the commands you'll need when opening a fresh terminal (and make sure Docker is already running):

$ cd serverless-dz-course

$ ./zappashell.sh

zappashell> source ve/bin/activate

(ve) zappashell>

Or if you are on Windows:

PS C:\Users\Roman\Documents> cd serverless-dz-course

PS C:\Users\Roman\Documents\serverless-dz-course> zappashell.bat

zappashell> source ve/bin/activate

(ve) zappashell>

• We are assuming the first cd is changing the directory to wherever you set up your project.

• The ./zappashell.sh or zappashell.bat fires up a Docker container based on the Docker image you created using the Dockerfile

• The source ve/bin/activate activates the Python Virtual Environment within the Docker container.

• And then you'll be ready to start working when you see the prompt: (ve) zappashell>

Now we can move on to the next module.
