'There is no activate when I am trying to run my virtual env

1) I installed virtualenv using pip.
2) I ran the command virtualenv venv
3) Then I ran source venv/bin/activate but it says that there is no such file or directory.

When I cd into venv/bin I find 3 things - python, python 2.7, and python 3.5. Does anyone know the problem?

virtualenv virtual-environment

Solution 1:^[1]

i have had the same problem. and what i did is just run the command virtualenv env again. And then more files were generated under directory env/bin, including the activate file. it's so weird.

Solution 2:^[2]

I solved the similar problem running python3.7 -m venv venv, you can change for your version of python that is installed in your enviroment.

Solution 3:^[3]

I solved a similar problem by naming it venv2 when I ran virtualenv. I already had a virtual environment named venv for another project. This allowed me to proceed.

Solution 4:^[4]

I experienced this problem when using the --upgrade option. Removed the option, and all ran as expected.

Solution 5:^[5]

According to Python doc, the installation step is

$ python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv

$ python3 -m venv env

The last command gives a warning message,

The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
available.  On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
package using the following command.

    apt-get install python3-venv

You may need to use sudo with that command.  After installing the python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.

$ sudo apt-get install python3-venv

Now, activate is available.

I double it is caused by some networking issue, I run it twice to get 'activate' script installed. Maybe first it can't connect to some source so it just abort installation.

Solution 7:^[7]

I had this happen on rasbian when I hadn't installed python3-pip before creating the venv.
