@@ -73,7 +73,7 @@ $ ./apimanager/manage.py collectstatic
 Instead of Django's built-in runserver, you need a proper web application server to run the app, e.g. `gunicorn`. It should have been installed already as a dependency and you use the provided `gunicorn.conf.py`. Run it like
 
 ```bash
-$ cd apimanager/ && gunicorn --config ../gunicorn.conf.py apimanager.wsgi 
+(venv)$ cd apimanager/ && gunicorn --config ../gunicorn.conf.py apimanager.wsgi 
 ```
 
 - `gunicorn` does not start successfully when omitting the directory change and using `apimanager.apimanager.wsgi` as program.
