mkvirtualenv: command not found after running source ~/.bash_profile

Question

I'm doing a setup for the tutorials on newcoder.io . I'm setting up on xubuntu which is running in Oracle Vm on Windows 7. Everything goes off without a snag until I get to the part where I install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper.

 sudo pip install virtualenv
 sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper
 export WORKON_HOME=~/Envs
 echo 'export WORKON_HOME=~/Envs' >> ~/.bash_profile
 echo 'source /etc/bash_completion.d/virtualenvwrapper' >> ~/.bash_profile
 mkdir -p $WORKON_HOME
 source ~/.bash_profile

After I run

 source ~/.bash_profile

I get an error saying:

 mkvirtualenv: command not found

What can be done to remedy this?

Answer 1

Try running virtualenvwrapper.sh in your .bash_profile before the /etc/bash_completion.d/virtualenvwrapper command. For example:

.bash_profile

...
source "/usr/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh"
source /etc/bash_completion.d/virtualenvwrapper

Answer 2

A few days ago I installed virtualenvwrapper and all I had to do is log on again to my account. Any changes to .bashrc or .bash_profile were not required.
