Bash：安装virtualenvwrapper后如何刷新shell [不重新启动shell]？

Question

I am using python-fabric to setup my server, which configures the server programatically.

So, I installed virtualenvwrapper as :

sudo apt-get install virtualenvwrapper

That installed - Virtualenvwrapper and adds its initialization scripts to shell startup.

Generally we restart the shell and it gets initialized, but in my case I can-not restart the shell over fabric .

Since it was installed with apt-get I was not able to find the initialization scripts entry in ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile or /etc/bash.bashrc

So, where did apt-get added call to the initialization scripts ?

How to refresh the shell without restarting the shell ?

Answer 1

Solved the problem :

source /etc/bash_completion.d/virtualenvwrapper

This is where it was storing all its magic which gets included to .bashrc automatically.

Answer 2

Try hash -r . It is a bash builtin.

Answer 3

try

source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

But I'm not sure the path of virtualenvwrapper.sh installed from apt-get. (I usually use easy_install)

Answer 4

Try rehash . (http://www.computerhope.com/unix/urehash.htm)
