Step 3. Install Virtualenv 

In your Windows command shell prompt type in:

pip install virtualenv

Start 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

Activate virtualenv 

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

Step 4. Install VirtualEnvWrapper-win

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

• Using pip

pip install virtualenvwrapper-win

• Install from source

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.
