在 mac 上为 python3 安装 venv 时出错

Question

While installing a virtual environment by running the following command on terminal:

python3 -m pip install --user venv

I'm encountering the following error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement venv
ERROR: No matching distribution found for venv

Please help me with this. I believe since default python is version 2.x in macOS I must try installing virtualenv but I require venv.

Answer 1

You cannot install venv with pip : venv is a module from the standard library since Python 3.3. So you don't need to install it, just start using:

python3 -m venv path/to/new-venv

Answer 2

Venv doesn't exists. I guess that you might want the package virtualenv .

Venv is commonly used as the name of virtual environment created by virtualenv.

So, the command is:

python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv
python3 -m virtualenv venv
