Using virtualenvwrapper on windows
Nov 9, 2020
System specifications:
- OS: Windows 10 Pro Version 1903 64bit
- python: Version 3.8.6
- pip: Version 20.2.4
Installation:
# using pip
pip install virtualenvwrapper-win# using easy_install
easy_install virtualenvwrapper-win# from source
git clone git://github.com/davidmarble/virtualenvwrapper-win.git
cd virtualenvwrapper-win
python setup.py install # or pip install .
Useful commands:
# create a virtual env named bob
mkvirtualenv bob# specifying requirements file while creating env
mkvirtualenv -r path-to-requirements\requirements.txt bob# deactivate activated env
deactivate# activate env
workon bob# delete virtual env named bob
rmvirtualenv bob# list existing virtual envs
lsvirtualenv
Adding environment variables:
# move to the env dir
cdvirtualenv# move to Scripts dir
cd Scripts# open activate.bat in your favourite editor (I am using VS Code)
code activate.bat
Now move to the end of the file in the editor and specify your variables like this: set "DEBUG=False"
Here DEBUG is variable name and False is the value.
That’s all folks. Hope this helped and thanks a lot for reading. Looking forward for improvements or inclusions needed if any.
