Research direction
Start in the /coverage/ documentation, section 5.2.1.1, and compare the existing virtual-environment activation command with the Windows-specific command given in the issue. Update the instructions to mention the Windows activation step, then verify that the surrounding installation sequence remains clear for Windows readers.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
In /coverage/ section 5.2.1.1
When installing coverage on Windows, the second command step can not be used:
source ../cpython-venv/bin/activate
Instead, there should probably be some mention of the proper step:
..\cpython-venv\Scripts\activate.bat
Which allows you to enter the virtual environment and continue with the instructions.
