2626Basic Installation
2727==================
2828
29- virtualenvwrapper should be installed using pip _::
29+ virtualenvwrapper should be installed into the same global
30+ site-packages area where virtualenv is installed. You may need
31+ administrative privileges to do that. The easiest way to install it
32+ is using pip _::
3033
3134 $ pip install virtualenvwrapper
3235
33- You will want to install it into the global Python site-packages area,
34- along with virtualenv. You may need administrative privileges to do
35- that.
36+ or::
37+
38+ $ sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

3740.. warning ::

39- You almost certainly do not want to install virtualenvwrapper into
40- a virtualenv.
42+ virtualenv lets you create many different Python environments. You
43+ should only ever install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper on your
44+ base Python installation (i.e. NOT while a virtualenv is active)
45+ so that the same release is shared by all Python environments that
46+ depend on it.

4248An alternative to installing it into the global site-packages is to
4349add it to your user local directory (usually `~/.local `).
You can’t perform that action at this time.
