what is activate file in flask and what are other activate.bat activate.ps1 and others
Question:
I am new to flask, in some tutorial i saw using something like /Scripts/activate in linux and in other tutorial i saw /Scripts/activate.ps1 what are those activate.ps1 activate.bat and how they differ from activate file.
are all those only for activating environment but in different way?
Answers:
That’s the typical script to activate a conda or venv environment. Best practice is to create a virtual environment (e.g., with conda or venv) specifically for each project, to avoid conflicts, and then activate that environment just before using it.
On Linux, the path is normally bin/activate, while Scriptsactivate* would be normal on Windows.
On Windows, Scriptsactivate.bat is for a cmd shell, while Scriptsactivate.ps1 is for PowerShell.
