Answer 2

Install virtualenv using pip install virtualenv. If you have it already installed, try reinstalling it by removing it with pip uninstall virtualenv and then reinstalling it. Good Luck.

Answer 3

I just ran into this same problem. I had to pip uninstall virtualenv as a user with admin rights, then pip install virtualenv as a normal user. I think it's some kind of permissions issue if you installed virtualenv under admin rights.

Answer 4

Use pip3 instead of pip. I had the same issue and pip3 worked for me.

$ pip3 install virtualenv
$ virtualenv venv --python=python3

Answer 5

I had the same problem when I created my virtualenv via pycharm and installed requirements with pycharm. After trail and error , I found that installed requirements are not taken into account by the virtualenv.

The solution is to reinstall all requirements once you have activated your virtualenv:

venv\scripts\activate

python -m pip install -r YourRequirements.txt

Next time I'd better create my virtualenv directly with command line

Answer 6

Try

python3 -m pip uninstall virtualenv

python3 -m pip install virtualenv
