ERROR: virtualenvwrapper could not find virtualenv in your path

Question

I\'m trying to create a virtualenv with virtualenvwrapper, but when I use mkvirtualenv I get the following :

ERROR: virtualenvwrapper c         


        

Answer 1

1. Find where is your virtualenvwrapper located. in my case

 ~/.local/bin

May be it's installed in

/usr/local/bin/

It totally depends on the System or Package Manager you are using.

2. Add this path in your shell configuration .bashrc or .zshrc or whatever by simply

PATH=$PATH:

for example

PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin

Also add the following configuration in .bashrc or .zshrc

# the path you want your virtual environments to be saved and loaded from
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs 
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/

# most important, this is the program which loads virtualenv
# please update the path where virtualenvwrapper.sh is located
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh 

Don't Forget to restart the shell.. or reload the configuration...

To test whether it worked

mkvirtualenv test

if you see a test environment created then everything is ok.
