pip安装后，virtualenvwrapper.sh在哪里？

I’m trying to setup virtualenvwrapper on OSX, and all the instructions and tutorials I’ve found tell me to add a source command to .profile, pointing towards virtualenvwrapper.sh. I’ve checked all the python and site-packages directories, and I can’t find any virtualenvwrapper.sh. Is this something I need to download separately? Is pip not installing correctly?

This is the contents of /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenvwrapper:

hook_loader.py      hook_loader.pyc     project.py      project.pyc     user_scripts.py     user_scripts.pyc

As you can see, no virtualenvwrapper.sh. Where is it?

You can use the find command to search for a file:

find / -name virtualenvwrapper.sh

This will search all directories from the root for the file.

on ubuntu 12.04 LTS, installing through pip, it is installed to

/usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

on ubuntu 17.04, installing through pip as a normal user, it is installed to

~/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

did you already try this ?

$ which virtualenvwrapper.sh

I just reinstalled it with pip.

sudo pip uninstall virtualenvwrapper
sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

And this time it put it in /usr/local/bin.

The exact path where virtualenvwrapper.sh is stored/located varies from OS to OS. Even with in same OS, it varies from version to version. So we need a generic solution that works for all OS versions.

Easiest way I have found to find its path is: Do

pip uninstall virtualenvwrapper

This will prompt a confirmation. Say “No” But first line of confirmation shows the path of virtualenvwrapper.sh (Prompt gives a list of files it will delete, if you say Yes. First entry in this list contains path to virtualenvwrapper.sh in your machine)

or, like I did..just uninstall virtualenvwrapper

sudo pip uninstall virtualenvwrapper

and then install it with easy_install

sudo easy_install virtualenvwrapper

this time I found the file “/usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh” installed… Before that I weren’t finding that file anywhere even by this command

find / -name virtualenvwrapper.sh

On Mac OS

which virtualenvwrapper.sh

u got

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

and u can

sudo ln /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

and in your .bash_profile

source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

or u can

source /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

In OS X 10.8.2, with Python 2.7:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

In OSx EI captain, I installed the virtualenvwrapper as

sudo pip3 install virtualenvwrapper

, however I cannot find the virtualenvwrapper.sh in /user/local/bin, it was finally found at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh , and you can make an soft link to /usr/local/bin as

ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh, and everything you can just follow the setup guide as the official document does. Good luck!

For me it was in :

~/Library/Python/2.7/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

(With OS X, with a pip install --user installation)

I have the same problem. If you have older version of virtualenvwrapper, then pip wont work.

download src from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenvwrapper/3.6 and python setup.py install. Then the problem solved.

For RPM-based distributions(like Fedora 19), after running the sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper command, you may find the file at:

/usr/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Installed it using pip on Ubuntu 15.10 using a normal user, it was put in ~/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh which I found by running:

$ find / -name virtualenvwrapper.sh 2>/dev/null

Using

find / -name virtualenvwrapper.sh

I got a TON of “permissions denied”s, and exactly one printout of the file location. I missed it until I found that file location when I uninstall/installed it again with pip.

In case you were curious, it was in

/usr/local/share/python/virtualenvwrapper.sh

In my case (OSX El Capitan, version 10.11.5) I needed to edit the .profile like so:

In the terminal:

vim ~/.profile

export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export MSYS_HOME=C:\msys\1.0
source /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh                                                                                   

And then reload the profile (that it will be availuble in the current session.)

source ~/.profile

Hope it will help someone.

I can find one in macOS Mojave (10.14) while playing with virtualenvwrapper-4.8.4

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Although this is an OS X question, here’s what worked for me on Linux (Red Hat).

My virtualwrapper.sh was in

~/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

This is probably because I installed virtualenvwrapper locally, using the --user flag…

pip install --user virtualenvwrapper

…as an alternative to the risky practice of using sudo pip.

/usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper.sh

I’ve installed it on Ubuntu 16.04 and it resulted in this location.

/usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

I had the same issue in with the beagle bone black(debian).

Manually downloading the package and installing worked for me.

For Ubuntu
If you just installed it, check the output on Terminal, I’m posting mine :

Running setup.py install for virtualenv-clone    
Installing virtualenv-clone script to /home/username/.local/bin
Successfully installed virtualenvwrapper virtualenv virtualenv-clone stevedore pbr six
Cleaning up...

Here the second line tells you the path. For me it was at /home/username/.local/bin

pip will not try to make things difficult for you on purpose.

The thing is commands based files are always installed in /bin folders they can be anywhere on the system path.

I had the same problem and I found that I have these files in my

~/.local/bin/

folder instead of

/usr/loca/bin/

which is the common case, but I think they changed the default path to

~ or $HOME

directory because its more isolate for the pip installations and provides a distinction between apt-get packages and pip packages.

So coming to the point you have two choices here either you go to your .bashrc and make changes like this

# for virtualenv wrapper
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/Envs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/Devel
source $HOME/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

and than create a directory virtualenvwrapper under /usr/share/ and than symlink your virtualwrapper_lazy.sh like this

sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh /usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh

and you can check if your workon command is working which will list your existing virtualenv’s.

If you execute pip install virtualenvwrapper without sudo as a normal user pip will run but won’t copy the files in the required locations because the lack of permissions.

mortiz@florida:~# sudo pip3 install virtualenvwrapper

Use sudo and the files will be created under their respective paths:

root@florida:/usr/local/bin# ls -ltr
total 8008
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 8136192 Jun 11 17:45 chromedriver
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff   41697 Sep  5 16:06 virtualenvwrapper.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff    2210 Sep  5 16:06 virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff     215 Sep  5 16:06 pbr
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff     218 Sep  5 16:06 virtualenv-clone
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff     213 Sep  5 16:06 virtualenv
root@florida:/usr/local/bin# 

Worked for me on Debian GNU/Linux 9

in my case: /home/username/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Have you installed it using sudo? Was the error in my case.
