+                        If you do choose to set up a virtual environment in
+                        which to run Toaster, you must initialize that
+                        virtual environment each time you want to start
+                        Toaster.
+                        Use the following to initialize the environment just
+                        before you start Toaster:
+                        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ source venv/bin/activate
