Bin/Sh: 1: Source: Not Found

I am trying to install fpylll from a repository on Ubuntu 18.04 The fpylll instruction in README.rst says that after Automatic install you should do

$ source ./activate

but I get a notification:

/ bin / sh: 1: source: not found

why it happens? I thought the source is in bash by eliciting? How to solve this problem?
