bash: mkvirtualenv: command not found

Question

After following the instructions on Doug Hellman\'s virtualenvwrapper post, I still could not fire up a test environment.

[mpenning@tsunami ~]$ mkvirtualenv          


        

Answer 1

On Windows 7 and Git Bash this helps me:

1. Create a ~/.bashrc file (under your user home folder)
2. Add line export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs (you must create this folder if it doesn't exist)
3. Add line source "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\Scripts\virtualenvwrapper.sh" (change path for your virtualenvwrapper.sh)

Restart your git bash and mkvirtualenv command now will work nicely.
