How to make bash and make install use virtual environment

Question

I've been trying to switch my coding to Linux.

I have ironed out most of my issues but one last thing I am not able to find any explanation of is the virtualization of make and bash commands.

I have installed PyCharm which virtualizes everything from what I have seen. However, when I am cloning repositories from Github, the instructions require building some code using make and then installing them and later on using bash to build dependencies.

I am running the commands in PyCharm terminal but instead of installing into the venv, it's installing the data in /usr/xxx instead.

How do I tell PyCharm to use bash and make in a similar way to pip to virtualize the setup ?

Edit: One of the projects in question is gym-gazebo which requires:

git clone https://github.com/erlerobot/gym-gazebo/blob/master/INSTALL.md

Then make and make install which installs it in the root

Later on there is also

bash setup_kinetic.bash

Which also uses root folders and not venv

I was able to install it but it is not virtualized the way it should when compared with coding on Windows

Answer 1

Basically the answer based on Evert and CharlesDuffy, what I'm looking for is containerization, since the libraries I'm looking for are C based with a python wrapper (something like that)

Docker, Singularity and Conda are on of the solutions.
