I am trying to install Virtualenv wrapper on Ubuntu 14.04. But whenever I start a terminal, I get the error saying bash:
/usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh: No such file or directory.
I also checked the bashrc script by using gedit ~/.bashrc, but there is no such line like that. Does anyone know where I am wrong?
In my case, I had previously installed virtualenvwrapper using apt-get install virtualenvwrapper and later uninstalled it using apt-get remove virtualenvwrapper, which left the 'configuration' file /etc/bash_completion.d/virtualenvwrapper behind. This bash completion definition was sourced by bash (it had nothing to do with my .bashrc) and caused the error message.
The solution was to run:
sudo apt-get purge virtualenvwrapper
Which purged all files related to virtualenvwrapper. The reason I uninstalled it was to use pip's version instead (more up-to-date), which can be installed globally using:
sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper
I just had the same problem on Linux Mint.
The following file was causing the issue: /etc/bash_completion.d/virtualenvwrapper
I made a backup (just in case) and deleted it, and everything seems to be working fine now.
Following these instructions, I found that the error occurred when sourcing the virtualenvwrapper bash script, i.e.:
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
The script references the file /etc/bash_completion.d/virtualenvwrapper as pointed out by arcticfeather.
Open up the script using the following command:
sudo nano /etc/bash_completion.d/virtualenvwrapper
This is where the non-existent file is being referenced. Simply replace /usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh with /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh and you should be good to go!
If none of the answers work like for myself, just create an empty file at the location giving out an error and shebang to it.
In the case of OP:
sudo nano /usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh
and write:
#!/bin/bash
Save it and try to open terminal again, did the trick for me
You can install Extension to virtualenv for managing multiple virtual Python environments (virtualenvwrapper) in Ubuntu 14.04 from the Ubuntu Software Center or from the terminal using the following command:
sudo apt install virtualenvwrapper
gedit .bashrc
Add the following line to the end of .bashrc.
source /usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper.sh
Save the changes to .bashrc and close gedit. Source your .bashrc for the changes to take effect.
cd
source .bashrc
I hope it help someone, in my case i was trying to create the virtualenv being inside a screen (screen -S whatever), the solution was closing the screen and executing the virtualenv command again being outside.
