Yes I write the following in my .bash_profile: source firedrake/bin/activate
Should it be in the .bashrc?
No, it's fine to be in ~/.bash_profile, however, you need to provide an absolute path, rather than a relative one (so that it doesn't matter where you launch the new terminal window). Assuming the firedrake directory is in $HOME, you can do: source $HOME/firedrake/bin/activate Cheers, Lawrence
