Mkvirtualenv: command not found 19.04

  • 772

Trying to install Django Framework. This when I am trying to activate an virtual environment for the very first time: 

mkvirtualenv test
mkvirtualenv: command not found

Location of the installation:

which virtualenvwrapper.sh
/usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Update from research I didn't use sudo when installing. Here is tutorial one and tutorial two.

python3 django pip virtualenvwrapper

  1. you use python3, but virtualenv uses python2 by default. So you need to modify it.

    Add the following sentence at the end of the '~/.bashrc',to modify the default python and configure virtualenv：

    VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3
export WORKON_HOME=~/.environments
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

    and then reload this configuration file with the command：

    source ~/.bashrc
