How to create a virtual environment using virtualenv under Windows (two ways)

Operating system: windowns10_x64

Python version: 3.6.8
virtualenv version: 16.7.7
virtualenvwrapper version: 1.2.5

Method 1: Use virtualenv directly

1. Installation

pip install virtualenv

2. Create a virtual environment

virtualenv -pd:/app/Python36/python.exe py36env

3. Start the virtual environment

py36env\Scripts\activate.bat

4. Exit the virtual environment

deactivate

If you need to delete the virtual environment, just delete py36env.

Method 2: Using virtualenvwrapper

1. Installation

pip install virtualenvwrapper-win

2. Set the environment variable WORKON_HOME to specify the default path of the virtualenvwrapper virtual environment

For example, set it to c:\venv and create the venv directory.

If not set, the relevant folders will be automatically created in the current user directory.

3. Create a virtual environment

mkvirtualenv py36env -pd:/app/Python36/python.exe

4. View all virtual environments and start virtual environments

lsvirtualenv

workon py36env

5. Exit the virtual environment

deactivate

If you need to delete the virtual environment, execute the following command:

rmvirtualenv py36env
