Question
I've installed virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper on Windows using easy_install. But mkvirtualenv
is missing. I tried to search on my machine but I couldn't find it. I don't know how to solve it. Do you have any idea?
Solution
mkvirtualenv is a bash script so you need to run bash shell to make use of it.
mkvirtualenv is a bash function in the mkvirtualenv_bashrc script
You will need to run this from cygwin under Windows. (You can call a native python from this and not need a cygwin python)
OTHER TIPS
virtualenv helpers for Windows command shell:
virtualenvwrapper-win is a set of DOS-style batch files (doesn't work in PowerShell).
I've ported virtualenvwrapper to Powershell. Grab it from the BitBucket repo!
In windows we need to use virtualenv
not mkvirtualenv
while creating virtual environments
