virtualenv pip can't install packages

Question

I'm having trouble installing packages using virtualenv with python. I do the following:

sudo virtualenv venv
cd venv/bin
source activate
pip install nose

I get the following error:

unable to execute /Users/../venv/bin/pip: No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

run:

cd /usr/local/bin
sudo ./pip install virtualenv
which virtualenv 

This should point to /usr/local/bin/virtualenv

which pip

This should point to /usr/local/bin/pip

virtualenv /Users/yourname/path/to/env/envname
