Creating a Virtual Environment on OSx

My path for virtual environments is ~/virtual_environments.

Replace with the name of your virtual environment.

$ cd ~/virtual_environments

$ python3 /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/virtualenv.py --no-site-packages <virtual_environment_name>

If you have installed Anaconda. You will get an error (see Problem with Anaconda and VirtualEnv on page 11). Use this command instead

$ /usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.4.1_1/bin/python3 /usr/local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/virtualenv.py --no-site-packages <virtual_environment_name>

cd ~/virtual_environments
source ./<virtual_environment_name>/bin/actívate

python --version
