How do you install virtualenv for python on command prompt?

Question

I have been trying for two days on installing virtualenv on cmd prompt. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

`venv` comes with recent versions of Python, ready to be run. — lit, May 05 '18 at 22:19

I think you are using Windows.

To install virtualenv in windows, follow these steps:

Open scripts folder where pip is located in cmd
Type pip install virtualenv
Then you should install virtualenv wrapper for windows. Type this code pip install virtualenvwrapper-win
Create project dir: mkvirtualenv myproject
Set myproject dir as current dir: setprojectdir ..../myprojectdir
You are good to go. When you want to deactivate, simply type deactivate

FYI: You can set the project directory with the `-p` switch to `mkvirtualenv` too. – thebjorn May 05 '18 at 22:59
