Virtualenv#

virtualenv is the python package which creates virtual python environments so that different packages can be installed in isolation.

Install#

sudo easy_install virtualenv

Create a directory to hold your python virtual environments#

$ cd ~
$ mkdir Python

Create the virtual environment#

$ cd Python
$ virtualenv django_env --no-site-packages

Activate the virtual environment#

$ cd ~/Python/django_env/
$ source bin/activate

From now on, you should see (django_env) at the start of your prompt.
