As soon as I created new VM instance(google cloud platform compute engine), firstly I installed python 3.6.2 in /usr/local/bin

And I set up default python interpreter /usr/local/bin/python3.6.

$ python -V
Python 3.6.2

$ virtualenv --version
15.1.0

My issue is that activate script is not created.

$ virtualenv myenv 

Using base prefix '/usr'  
...  
...  
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/virtualenv", line 11, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/virtualenv.py", line 713, in main
    symlink=options.symlink)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/virtualenv.py", line 945, in create_environment
    download=download,
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/virtualenv.py", line 901, in install_wheel
    call_subprocess(cmd, show_stdout=False, extra_env=env, stdin=SCRIPT)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/virtualenv.py", line 797, in call_subprocess
    % (cmd_desc, proc.returncode))
OSError: Command /home/juhyun1849/PyVirt/test/bin/python3 - setuptools pip wheel failed with error code 1

I want to change bsse prefix '/usr' to /usr/local.

How can I do that??

    Hi @newbie16, just wanted to confirm how you were able to change this; I am not seeing any success yet – stoneman_41 Nov 16 '18 at 03:18
