have you tested this? I was not able to do this is my powershell because of admin rights, instead I used CMD.exe and then there is a .bat file to activate instead.

I'll do further testing later today on my windows machine.
Wouldn't switching to CMD be a bad decision since we later use PowerShell to start the clients?
A workaround could also be starting PowerShell in admin mode?

I've tested it and it works on my windows machine, I've added a line to bypass the admin permissions if that error shows up

I also added copy code buttons for the code boxes to make it easier to work with the guides. |

Added instructions for CMD.exe and also added a link to Python venv documentation if further information is needed. |
