Why I can't install python virtual environment?

Question

I try to install virtual environment using : python -m venv .venv

But it says it can't find a module called venv.

enter image description here

Please show output of `python -V` or try `python3 -m venv` instead — OneCricketeer, Jun 21 '22 at 20:19

I have a feeling that you are using the default Python version 2.X. Try this to see if that is the case:

python --version

If the default is 2.X, then it does not come with the venv library. You need to explicitly call python3:

python3 -m venv .venv

Execute first this line to install virtual-enviornment and than execute your line.

python -m pip install virtualenv

There's nothing wrong with `python -m venv` (assuming Python 3) and doesn't address the error of actually using `venv` module. – OneCricketeer Jun 21 '22 at 20:18
