You just need to use this command in the first cell of your Pluto Notebook (note that for this to work the notebook needs be **saved** in the same folder as the environment you want to access)

```julia
begin
	import Pkg
	Pkg.activate(".")
end

```

If you activate the environment in the VSCode REPL it has no effect on the Pluto Notebooks, you have to activate the local environment manually inside them.
