Java Qui Nhon: How To Set Up A Python Virtual Environment On Windows 10

In your Windows command shell prompt type in:

pip install virtualenv

In your windows command prompt, head to your project location:

cd my_project

Once inside the project folder run:

virtualenv env
python3 -m venv venv

On Windows, virtualenv (venv) creates a batch file called

\env\Scripts\activate.bat

To activate virtualenv on Windows, and activate the script is in the Scripts folder :

\pathto\env\Scripts\activate

Example:

C:\Users\'Username'\venv\Scripts\activate.bat

There are two main methods we recommend to install this batch script.


pip install virtualenvwrapper-win

git clone git://github.com/davidmarble/virtualenvwrapper-win.git

We then cd to the virtualenvwrapper-win folder and run:

python setup.py install

And that’s it! Python’s venv is set up and ready to use.
