To install virtualenv via pip | |
$ pip3 install virtualenv | |
Note that virtualenv installs to the python3 directory. For me it's: | |
$ /usr/local/share/python3/virtualenv | |
Create a virtualenvs directory to store all virtual environments | |
$ mkdir somewhere/virtualenvs | |
Make a new virtual environment with no packages | |
$ virtualenv somewhere/virtualenvs/<project-name> --no-site-packages | |
To use the virtual environment | |
$ cd somewhere/virtualenvs/<project-name>/bin | |
$ source activate | |
You are now using the virtual environment for <project-name>. To stop: | |
$ deactivate |
