Where is virtualenvwrapper.sh after pip install?

Question

I\'m trying to setup virtualenvwrapper on OSX, and all the instructions and tutorials I\'ve found tell me to add a source command to .profile, pointing towards virtualenvwra

Answer 1

You can use the find command to search for a file:

find / -name virtualenvwrapper.sh

This will search all directories from the root for the file.

---

on ubuntu 12.04 LTS, installing through pip, it is installed to

/usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

---

on ubuntu 17.04, installing through pip as a normal user, it is installed to

~/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Answer 2

in my case: /home/username/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Answer 3

In OSx EI captain, I installed the virtualenvwrapper as

sudo pip3 install virtualenvwrapper

, however I cannot find the virtualenvwrapper.sh in /user/local/bin, it was finally found at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh , and you can make an soft link to /usr/local/bin as

ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh, and everything you can just follow the setup guide as the official document does. Good luck!

Answer 4

For me it was in :

~/Library/Python/2.7/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

(With OS X, with a pip install --user installation)

Answer 5

The exact path where virtualenvwrapper.sh is stored/located varies from OS to OS. Even with in same OS, it varies from version to version. So we need a generic solution that works for all OS versions.

Easiest way I have found to find its path is: Do

pip uninstall virtualenvwrapper

This will prompt a confirmation. Say "No" But first line of confirmation shows the path of virtualenvwrapper.sh (Prompt gives a list of files it will delete, if you say Yes. First entry in this list contains path to virtualenvwrapper.sh in your machine)

Answer 6

or, like I did..just uninstall virtualenvwrapper

sudo pip uninstall virtualenvwrapper

and then install it with easy_install

sudo easy_install virtualenvwrapper

this time I found the file "/usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh" installed... Before that I weren't finding that file anywhere even by this command

find / -name virtualenvwrapper.sh
