Just to update that I follow the steps provided by Braden [https://discuss.openedx.org/t/xblock-sdk-setting-entry-points-for-virtenv/3590/3](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/xblock-sdk-setting-entry-points-for-virtenv/3590/3), and it works.

Here are steps I modify for my window machine:

```auto
C:\git clone git@github.com:edx/xblock-sdk.git
C:\cd xblock-sdk

C:\xblock-sdk>python -m venv venv
(venv) C:\xblock-sdk>.\venv\Scripts\activate

pip install -qr requirements\dev.txt
pip install -qr requirements\local.txt
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py runserver

```
