Python Virtual Environment Package Install Issue

I'm building a Python project requiring Django. I have created a project directory and virtual environment using virtualenv. But I can't install django using PIP and I have to us

Solution 1:

In most situations the best solution is to rely on the so-called "user site" location by running:

pip install --user package_name

If that doesn't work, you need the admin rights. So just run the cmd as an administrator.

Or better yet create a virtualenv and then install. Instructions can be found on: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/

Solution 2:

You didn't actually active your virtual-env, and your error information show as:

C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-unpack- kc0_p8wh\Django-2.1-py3-none-any.whl

Nothing about venv/xxx/path, so you should active by.

FOR Linux

source venv\Scripts\activate first. and then try install again.

FOR WIN Thanks for @metatoaster remind at the comments below. But it depends on where are you virtualenv path.

C:\Venv\Scripts>activate

To make sure whether you are in virtual-env , just check whether you have a special subfix at the begin of command line. something like:

(my_venv)landpacks
