I tried to create virtual env but it shows protocol error not sure why. I really like the way you explained things.

This is the part where everything went wrong for me.
Then 'mkvirtualenv: command not found', so I needed to write "virtualenv profiles_api --python= python3" without 'mk', and then "source profiles_api/bin/activate".
Then 'Workon command not found'.
I tried reinstalling everything that I could've think off, but it did'nt help.

thanks for the tutoriaol man but uhhh, got some issues in this part

doesn't recognize mkvirtualenv as a command, and using virtualenv gets me an error that "it isn't installed", so I do
pip install virtualenv
and a many red lines follow, most of them starting with 'File
after that it told me that im using pip version of 8.1 and version 20 is avaliable and to run
pip install --upgrade pip
then it told me a message that python v2.7 is getting deprecated and stuff
but i'm using python 3.8

and running the install for virtualenv again says
ERROR: THESE PACKAGES DO NOT MATCH THE HASHES FROM THE REQUIREMENTS FILE. If you have updated the package versions, please update the hashes


any help?

Hello who find right solution for mkvirtualenv not found problem

[balajinamala]

I destroyed my vagrant and up the server, when run mkvirtualenv: it shows command not found

[TheGlobalNetworker]

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.

Failing command: ['/home/vagrant/profiles_api/bin/python3', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']
