To activate your virtualenv you need to execute source <path-to-env-folder>/bin/activate
.
You also need to install rasa in that virtualenv otherwise you will not be able to execute your command. But in general only the packages inside the virtualenv are used when you execute something inside the virtualenv.
Btw. the command should look like: rasa train nlp -c config.yml --data/smalltalk.md
.
