venv question

[Mick Sulley]

Running Linux Mint.  I recently started to use a virtual environment, 
just one which is ~/.env

Today Eric would not start from the menu, but it started from command 
line.  I reinstalled and it is now working from menu again, but it did 
raise a question in my mind.

I install eric by following the commands under "Linux and macOS" on the 
website.  I ran this with my venv enabled, but should I install it that 
way or should it be with venv disabled, or does it make no difference?

Thanks for a great software package!

Mick
