Virtualenv Command Not Found

virtualenv install command not found on windows

The following command works on Windows:

python -m venv ./venv

See https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html

Error virtualenv : command not found but install location is in PYTHONPATH

The only workable approach I could figure out (with help from @Gator_Python was to do python -m virtualenv venv. This creates the virtual environment and works as expected.

I have custom python installed and maybe that's why the default approach doesn't work for me.

virtualenv' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

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.
