Installation

By defautl the following instructions show how to enable pyvenvwrapper for particular user, if you wish to enable it system wide, see Manual installation.

Automated installation

To install pyvenvwrapper:

  1. Run 'pip install pyvenvwrapper', this will download and install required files on your machine.

  2. Run 'pyvenvwrapper_enable', this will enable pyvenvwrapper for current user by adding the following lines to user's .bashrc file:

    source [path_to_pyvenvwrapper]/pyvenvwrapper_settings
source [path_to_pyvenvwrapper]/pyvenvwrapper

    There's also 'pyvenvwrapper_disable' command, which disables pyvenvwrapper for current user by removing those lines.

  3. Reboot your shell or run 'source ~/.bashrc'.
  4. Run 'pyvenvwrapper' to see available commands and start using pyvenvwrapper or see settings to customize its behavior first.

Manual installation

To install pyvenvwrapper manually:

  1. Run 'pip install pyvenvwrapper', this will download and install required files on your machine.
  2. Find where pyvenvwrapper package is installed. Usually somewhere in site-packages or dist-packages, i.e. /usr/lib/python3/site-packages/, /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/.

  3. Open current user's .bashrc file in text editor, i.e. 'vim ~/.bashrc', and add the following lines to the end of the file, substituting [path_to_pyvenvwrapper_package] with actual path from step 2:

    source [path_to_pyvenvwrapper_package]/pyvenvwrapper_settings
source [path_to_pyvenvwrapper_package]/pyvenvwrapper

    If you wish to enable pyvenvwrapper system wide, then consider adding the lines above to the end of /etc/bash.bashrc file, or adding symlinks for specified files to /etc/profile.d/ directory.

  4. Reboot your shell or run 'source ~/.bashrc'.
  5. Run 'pyvenvwrapper' to see available commands and start using pyvenvwrapper or see settings to customize its behavior first.
