Hello Guys I am tying to follow the installation here https://github.com/systers/portal and trying to deploy the server inside a virtual environment on my machine. After lots of errors I decided to install a fresh copy of Ubuntu 16.04 and start After the installation here are the things that I have installed using the given commands
I checked my current python and python3 versions using python --version and python3--version respectively and they are Python 2.7.12 and Python 3.5.2 respectively.
Easy Install. $ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev build-essential
pip. $ sudo easy_install pip
virtualenv. $ sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv.
python3-dev tools.$sudo apt-get install python3-dev
Now after that I created a virtual env and activated it using the following commands
$ virtualenv venv1 --python=/usr/bin/python3
$ source venv/bin/activate
But now when I run the third command
$ pip install -r requirements/dev.txt
or even do
$pip --version
I get the error
bash: /media/rohan/New Volume/portal/venv1/bin/pip: "/media/rohan/New: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
Also in /venv1/bin the files pip,pip3 ,pip3.5 are present
I tried sudo easy_install pip thinking that it will install pip in the virtual environment but it installs to /usr/local/bin
Also I tried by creating a virtual env using the code
$virtualenv venv --python=/usr/bin/python
But that also doesnt work and this time also same error comes and in /venv/bin pip pip2 pip2.7 are present
PLEASE HELP
The problem appears to be that the path to your virtualenv has a space in it that isn't being escaped somewhere it should be.
Note the error you receive:
/media/rohan/New: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
So with that space in the path, it is trying to run a program that doesn't exist (/media/rohan/New) on a file that doesn't exist (Volume/portal/venv1/bin/pip).
Renaming New Volume to something without spaces like new_volume and then recreating a virtualenv should resolve this.
