I had the same problem. I needed to install package python3-venv.

Solution 2:^[2]

In order to fix this, I had to run from my terminal:

pip install virtualenv

After installing the virtualenv package everything works as expected.

Solution 3:^[3]

In my case, I didn't have pip installed on my computer.

If you have python3-env already installed, the commands provided in most of the answers will not work as you need the python3-venv package specifically for Python 3.10

The exact package as pointed by @fabel in comments is python3.10-venv .

sudo apt install python3.10-venv

Run this command and it should be good to go.

Solution 5:^[5]

just open your terminal and install pip package:

In ubuntu: sudo apt install pip

For windows: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/install-pip-windows

Then try to create the virtual environment again

Solution 6:^[6]

I ran "pip install virtualenv" in the terminal, but after trying again it didn't work. I downloaded python 3.10 from python.org then because i had problems updating my python version from 3.9 to 3.10 on my computer, i decided to try to make a virtual environment in PyCharm, in my main project (my only one) I clicked "Add Interpreter..." then selected "Virtualenv environment" then set the location to "/home/myname/Documents/PyCharm/venvPy3.10" and then i set base interpreter to the one i downloaded by clicking on the three dots on the right of it then going to my downloads folder. I also selected both "Inherit global site-packages" and "Make available to all project" then clicked "OK". Then it gives me warning.

There is a bug in Windows venv, which is known to be exposed if you install a VisualStudio 2022 runtime. ~~If PyCharm uses venv and not another virtual environment (not sure as I don't use PyCharm) s~~ See if my issue/workaround in this Q&A aligns with yours.

Edit: I realize that you are using virtualenv instead. However, virtualenv uses venv.EnvBuilder so the issue could still be related.

if you don't have pip before install pip

sudo apt install python3-pip

press Ctrl + Alt + S

then click settings button and select show all

press Alt + Insert keys then

Select Virtualenv Environment and check Inherit global site-packages

I had the same problem, but solved it by adding an interpreter manually.

Solution 10:^[10]

If someone is still not able to fix this then, create it manually.

go in the dir that you want the venv in, then python3.10 -m venv <name of venv>
source <name of venv>/bin/activate
go in Python Interpeter settings and then select the location of the manually created venv in the 'existing environment'
