Answer 2

steps: - go to where you want create django app on that folder.

then run this command on command prompt : python -m virtualenv .

(eg. C:\Users\gshiv\Desktop\django>python -m virtualenv .)

where django is the my folder i want run virtualenv and .(dot) indicates virtualenv install all it's folder in django folder otherwise you can use other folder name instead .(dot) this time virtulenv creates a folder in main folder(django) .

• after running this command: run .\scripts\activate now you can see this type of line on cmd-prompt (django) C:\Users\gshiv\Desktop\django>
• i.e main folder name before the source path. now you can install any modules for your project that belongs to that main folder only.

pip install django works fine.

Answer 4

Make sure that virtualenv has been installed correctly. Check in the python scripts subfolder - there must exist an .exe named virtualenv.exe. If not, uninstall will pip uninstall virtualenv and install again.

Answer 5

There are three points that you need to consider:

• Make sure that in the windows PATH variable there is an entry with your python installation and the scripts subfolder eg: C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\Scripts\
• When using pip install virtualenv, make sure that you run cmd as administrator. Otherwise, there might an access denied error during installation and virtualenv will not be installed properly.
• Make sure that virtualenv has been installed correctly. Check in the python scripts subfolder - there must exist an .exe named virtualenv.exe. If not, uninstall will pip uninstall virtualenv and install again.

Answer 6

If you can not find your 'virtualenv' command in the windows console after installing it with pip try this to make your environment:

python -m virtualenv <nameOfEnv>

If you need to use a specific version of python, initialize it like this:

python -m virtualenv <nameOfEnv> -p=<C:/path/to/python/version3.x.x/python.exe>

When using windows for first installation, you can use python from WindowsApp
