I install virtualenv with command sudo /usr/bin/pip-2.6 install virtualenv
And it says
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade):
virtualenv in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
Cleaning up...
Why pip from /usr/bin looks to /usr/local/lib?
I need to install virtualenv scripts directly to /usr/bin, so I write
sudo /usr/bin/pip-2.6 install --install-option="--install-scripts=/usr/bin" virtualenv
But again it responds with
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade):
virtualenv in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
Cleaning up...
Adding --upgrade doesn't help.
How can I install virtualenv scripts to /usr/bin ?
For your current issue can you first uninstall virtualenv using pip, and then reinstall using --script-dir=DIR, -s DIR
as an --install-option
.
As for your issue running pip
with extra arguments and install not seeming to do anything, that may be fixed on develop
branch at https://github.com/pypa/pip if not please file a bug with us on the GitHub issue tracker for pip.
As to why it is behaving like this - the install is based on the python installation not on the location of pip. Pip uses setuptools/distribute under the hood and conforms to the configuration of the python it is running under.
You can see where the version of python you are using installs to by running it - in this case probably python2.6
and querying the sys
module.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.prefix
>>> sys.exec_prefix
