Baota Panel "Python Project Manager" virtual environment usage issues.

# Issues with Using the Virtual Environment of Baota Panel's "Python Project Manager"

> The following document only supports Baota Panel's "Python Project Manager version 1.9".

Using Baota Panel's "Python Project Manager" makes it convenient to deploy Python web applications.

MrDoc also recommends using Baota Panel for deployment.

In some cases, we need to manually execute some MrDoc commands in Baota Panel's command-line terminal. In these cases, it is necessary to activate the virtual environment within the MrDoc project directory before executing the commands.

Baota Panel's "Python Project Manager" window explains how to use the project's virtual environment.

Here we provide an example introduction.

## Activating the Virtual Environment

Example project name: `mrdoc`
Example project path: `/www/wwwroot/MrDoc`

Therefore, the project's virtual environment path is: `/www/wwwroot/MrDoc/{project name}_venv`, which is `/www/wwwroot/MrDoc/mrdoc_venv`

The command to activate the virtual environment is:
```
source /www/wwwroot/MrDoc/mrdoc_venv/bin/activate
```

We can click the project path to jump to the directory where the project path is located, and enter the following command to quickly activate the virtual environment:
```
source ./mrdoc_venv/bin/activate
```

As shown in the figure below:

## Exiting the Virtual Environment

If you need to exit the virtual environment after activating it, simply enter the following command in the command-line terminal:
```
deactivate
```
