Can't setup virtualenv #3
Description
I was following along with TwilioQuest and thought I'd use it as an opportunity to expand my repertoire with Python.
Trick is, I don't have the command virtualenv and while I followed the link to https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html it didn't tell me how to get virtualenv -- in fact the text "virtualenv" doesn't exist at that link.
Maybe the Running the application section needs updating?

After clicking around a bit I found https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/installation/ which lead me to
pip install virtualenv(non-sudo, as per the link).That said,
virtualenv -p python3 env source env/bin/activatedidn't work:I simply cd'ed into the directory I'd just cloned.

Ah I think I got it.
After reading deeper into the linked python docs for virtual environments, I think I was successful with a
python3 -m venv envfollowed by asource env/bin/activate.I'm gonna go with it and see what happens :)

I couldn't work it out, then I watched this video, which is awesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APOPm01BVrk

I'm not sure if my issue is related at all, but when I try to activate the virtualenv I get
virtualenv: error: unrecognized arguments: source env/bin/activateI'm not really sure what this is meant to mean.

@taffy-nay virtualenv and source are two different commands. You should not get the error message
unrecognized arguments: source env/bin/activateif you issue them on two lines like this.I have submitted PR #9 to fix README.md

I believe for windows, the command to activate your virtual environment is:
enviornmentName\Scripts\activateThe windows command isn't mentioned in the readMe. I ran this command on powershell.
