Linux/macos: virtualenv -p python3 env source env/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt

windows: virtualenv -p python3 env env\scripts\activate pip install -r requirements.txt

if you need to specify the full path to python you can use something like virtualenv -p C:\Program Files\Python36\python.exe myvirtualenv
