I am receiving the following message when trying to install virtualenv via: sudo pip install virtualenv

Bryans-MacBook-Pro:/ BryanB$ sudo pip install virtualenv

Tried sudo -H pip install virtualenv

Result Requirement already satisfied: virtualenv in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages

I am unsure how to resolve this issue.

Is it an issue? Virtualenv is installed in your framework Python site-packages directory. If your $PATH contains the bin directory of that installation, you should be able to run the virtualenv command now.

When trying to run $ mkvirtualenv TestEnv

Result -bash: mkvirtualenv: command not found

Per this tutorial: http://newcoder.io/begin/setup-your-machine/, my response should be something like:

$ mkvirtualenv TestEnv
Installing
distribute..........................................
....................................................
....................................................
...............................done.
virtualenvwrapper.user_scripts Creating /Users/lynnroot/Envs/TestEnv/bin/predeactivate

virtualenvwrapper.user_scripts Creating /Users/lynnroot/Envs/TestEnv/bin/postactivate
virtualenvwrapper.user_scripts creating /Users/lynnroot/Envs/TestEnv/bin/get_env_details

And should have a virtual environment called TestEnv, which I should see (TestEnv) before your prompt:

(TestEnv) $

But, obviously I am not... Not sure why. First time doing much of anything with Python. Would like to test out writing scrapers

Thanks

mkvirtualenv is a command provided by virtualenvwrapper, a set of helpers built on top of virtualenv. Either run pip install virtualenvwrapper (no need for sudo), or use “bare” virtualenv commands instead of mkvirtualenv.

This happens when someone installs a package via pip using sudo in a virtualenv. You can update the permissions by using following commands as referred in link-

$ sudo chown -R USERNAME /Users/USERNAME/Library/Logs/pip
$ sudo chown -R USERNAME /Users/USERNAME/Library/Caches/pip
