how to install pyenv-virtualenv on windows

[Sohail Tanveer]

im facing difficulty to install pyenv-virtual env on my windows 10
i googled it several times but it directs me to a git repo where there is an installation process but is of no use because, the command that is displayed is not working in my cmd 

please help me out

[Luciano Martins]

Look I gave up trying on windows and use virtualenv same.

I don't know if this answers your question, but you can try

$ python -m venv env

env is the name of the virtual environment and can be replaced with any name of your choice.

It would greatly improve your chances of getting some useful help if you
clarify which git repo you are talking about, which command you are
trying to using and what exactly you mean by "not working".

Unless you want to leave that as an exercise for the reader.

Kind regards,

I recently started using pipenv, but still I can say its best thing so far I have used for storing env variables,creating venv and etc,with one simple command your virtualenv will be activated,without having to worry about where your venv files are ,path and etc .

Have a look at it. What do you think about pipenv Kasper?

Hi Sohail,

I read your interest for pipenv in Windows. Seems are wasting precious time and not productive because of this pipenv tool, which is not even the point of Django.

If that keeps resulting complicated, may I suggest you to use venv which comes integrated in recent Python installation. You have to install nothing else other than Python.

I code Python in Windows using venv - no issues.

In your desired folder, to create virtual environment:

python -m venv the-name-of-my-virtual environment 

Usually I do this (yes, I put a dot in name of my virtual environment):

python -m venv .venv

Then, using gitbash, to activate virtual environment in Windows (assuming you are in same desired folder):

. \.venv\Scripts\activate

If not using gitbash, enter to folder .venv\Scripts and run activate - it’s a .bat program 

That should work.

Regards,

I don't think I've ever had a need for it. Using the standard venv
python module has been fine for my needs so far, but I'll keep it in
mind. Thanks.

Kind regards,

The first line of the readme says:

"pyenv-virtualenv is a pyenv plugin that provides features to manage
virtualenvs and conda environments for Python on UNIX-like systems."

Windows is not a "UNIX-like system" so what made you think you could use
that on Windows?

An ever better question is probably, what made you want to use
pyenv-virtualenv on Windows in the first place?

There are probably better solutions as someone else has already
commented, but it's probably easier for someone to help you if you let
them know what you are trying to accomplish. I don't assume you're
trying to port pyenv-virtualenv to Windows.

That's because that's a UNIX shell command, although I'm not sure if the
$() syntax is standard. Anyway, that's not going to work in your DOS cmd
shell and I doubt changing to a more sane command shell is going to help
you.

So the short answer to your original question "how to install
pyenv-virtualenv in Windows?" seems to be, "you don't".

Kind regards,

Kasper Laudrup
