title: Using linux console in pycharm
body: <p>I'm new to pycharm, virtualenv, linux and git. </p>
  
  <p>I've recently begun a journey of using djangoto make webapps. Before I used sublime to make scripts however now a more complex project management system such as pycarm was needed. I actually wanted to get a linux VM and go down that road but was advised that windows python IDE such as pycharm would be suitable </p>
  
  <p>I recently learnt the importance of dependencies and how to use virtualenv. However in <a href="https://www.dabapps.com/blog/introduction-to-pip-and-virtualenv-python/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> tutorial, under the 'How do I use my shiny new virtual environment?' it starts using commands such as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ls env 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and </p>
  
  <pre><code>which python 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Neither of which my pycharm console would understand. </p>
  
  <p>I could use a console emulator such cmder to use the commands but then I would remove the convience of using the IDE's integrated one. </p>
  
  <p>Should I upgrade to a linux VM ? Or can I install a package that allows me to use such commands in PyCharm. </p>
  
  <p>As a bonus question, what are the commands in that tutorial ? are they linux commands?  when ever i see $ .... is that the linux console ? </p>
