HeyMan,

I am trying to install locust.io on a fresh installation of ubuntu 14 x64.

But when I start to start virtualenv it gives me this error 👍
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/virtualenv", line 11, in
sys.exit(main())

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'venv'

Any idea on how to fix this ?

Thank you

Hello,

From the error I see, when you are executing the virtualenv venv you do not have the permission to make a new folder. Please try sudo virtualenv venv and tell me if it's working.

Have a nice day!

Is virtualenv necessary?
