Basic Installation
27
27
==================
28
28
29
- virtualenvwrapper should be installed using pip _::
29
+ virtualenvwrapper should be installed into the same global
30
+ site-packages area where virtualenv is installed. You may need
31
+ administrative privileges to do that. The easiest way to install it
32
+ is using pip _::
30
33
31
34
$ pip install virtualenvwrapper
32
35
33
- You will want to install it into the global Python site-packages area,
34
- along with virtualenv. You may need administrative privileges to do
35
- that.
36
+ or::
37
+
38
+ $ sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

.. warning ::

- You almost certainly do not want to install virtualenvwrapper into
40
- a virtualenv.
42
+ virtualenv lets you create many different Python environments. You
43
+ should only ever install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper on your
44
+ base Python installation (i.e. NOT while a virtualenv is active)
45
+ so that the same release is shared by all Python environments that
46
+ depend on it.

An alternative to installing it into the global site-packages is to
43
49
add it to your user local directory (usually `~/.local `).
You can’t perform that action at this time.
