I'm trying to use python Virtualenv and Django. I have successfully installed both using Pip. On every tutorial I've found, it tells me to open CMD and type in a command. For example:
C:\Users\USER\Desktop>django-admin startproject mysite
-
C:\Users\USER\Desktop>virtualenv pymote_env
-
C:\Users\USER\Desktop>mkvirtualenv myproject
-
Every one of these commands return
'...is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I cannot find any solution to this. Is it worth running a virtual Linux Ubuntu machine? I'm running Windows 8 and using Python 3.4.3 32-bit. Any help well be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! 3

First, you need to setup a virtual environment using:
pip install virtualenvwrapper-win then you create a virtual name
mkvirtualenv test then you get your own environment
some times it doesn't work, you need to delete the environment then again you install it
uninstall using:
pip uninstall virtualenvwrapper-win pip uninstall virtualenv install using:
pip install virtualenvwrapper-win you'll get your solution.
You can also run with python -m prefix. For e.g. python -m virtualenv pymote_env
I am late to the party, but I had a similar issue and for me it was a matter of access privileges. When using regular windows cmd or shell it did not work.
In Visual Studio Code I chose "select default Shell" and chose Bash.
After this I could run all the commands which previously didn't work. Specifically, getting terminal/bash to run as a venv.
I hope this might solve it for you.
