instructions to activate carnd-term1 on windows

[SherylHohman]

I'm on Windows 7 Pro:

Instructions for Windows say that to activate, one must type:
activate carnd-term1

However, this was the response:
i Term1 $ activate carnd-term1
Error: activate must be sourced. Run 'source activate envname' instead of 'activate envname'.

So I did as it said (shich is the same command as for non-Windows users), and this was the response:
i Term1 $ source activate carnd-term1
(carnd-term1) i Term1 $

Note: I haven't gotten any further than this, so I dunno if anything else works.
But it looks to me that the same command as for non-Windows users,
was needed to activate the anaconda environment on my Windows 7 Pro machine.

@SherylHohman On Windows it depends what shell you use whether you have to type source or not. Most shells you do not in my experience, I'm not sure if this is different on Windows 7. In any case the output you received from running source activate carnd-term1 looks to be correct, that is, (carnd-term1) being prefixed to the command prompt. Just run whichever works :-)

[SherylHohman]

What I found is that when I run "cmd" the command prompt shell directly
I do NOT type in "source", as you say.

However when I use git bash, I Do need "source".

So perhaps indicating that windows users might need to use one command or other other, depending on their shell, is more accurate.

I've updated the instructions #56 to indicate this.

USER1234@Computer32 MINGW64 ~/CarND-Term1-Starter-Kit-Test (master)
$ source activate carnd-term1
bash: activate: No such file or directory

Even I tried

source activate CarND-Term1-Starter-Kit-Test

from git-bash.

I am writing the above command from git-bash. But I get the error,
bash: activate: No such file or directory

Even I ran activate 'cmd' prompt, but I still get the same error. Please help.
