How to install virtualenv with pipx?

Question

Using Python 3.8.3, pipx 0.15.4.0

I tried to install virtualenv using:

python -m pipx install virtualenv
python -m pipx ensurepath

Then I checked to see if it was installed properly:

python -m virtualenv --help
C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe: No module named virtualenv.__main__; 'virtualenv' is a package and cannot be directly executed

I'd like to use pipx rather than pip to do this, any ideas?

Answer 1

You could use vitualenv .

python -m venv new_env

Creates a new virtual environment called new_env .
