Installation

Warning

We advise installing virtualenv-1.9 or greater. Prior to version 1.9, the pip included in virtualenv did not download from PyPI over SSL.

Warning

When using pip to install virtualenv, we advise using pip 1.3 or greater. Prior to version 1.3, pip did not download from PyPI over SSL.

Warning

We advise against using easy_install to install virtualenv when using setuptools < 0.9.7, because easy_install didn't download from PyPI over SSL and was broken in some subtle ways.

To install globally with pip (if you have pip 1.3 or greater installed globally):

$ [sudo] pip install virtualenv

Or to get the latest unreleased dev version:

$ [sudo] pip install https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/tarball/master

To install version X.X.X globally from source:

$ [sudo] pip install https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/tarball/X.X.X

To use locally from source:

$ curl --location --output virtualenv-X.X.X.tar.gz https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/tarball/X.X.X
$ tar xvfz virtualenv-X.X.X.tar.gz
$ cd pypa-virtualenv-YYYYYY
$ python virtualenv.py myVE

Note

The virtualenv.py script is not supported if run without the necessary pip/setuptools/virtualenv distributions available locally. All of the installation methods above include a virtualenv_support directory alongside virtualenv.py which contains a complete set of pip and setuptools distributions, and so are fully supported.
