I installed a virtual environment as per: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/

I stopped working on the project for a few days and can't remember the name of the environment. How can I find out the name? I've done some searchign and came across this exact question here:

Forgot virtualenv name - how to find the name of the virtual env?

When I try the suggestions the terminal just says the command doesn't exist.

  • If you said you followed those instructions, do you happen to have a `venv` folder in the same directory as your code? – Makoto Oct 31 '15 at 19:14
  • A virtualenv is just a directory in your file system. Usually you can find it by poking around the directories you normally use for such things. Otherwise, look for one of the env files such as `activate_this.py` – tdelaney Oct 31 '15 at 19:49
  • I managed to find the name of it (I found a screenshot of my terminal) but when I type "workon envname" I still get: -bash: workon: command not found – user1100121 Oct 31 '15 at 20:16
  • workon isn't a command, then. You need to do `source /path/to/venv/bin/activate` – OneCricketeer Oct 31 '15 at 21:16

    Use virtualenvwrapper, and forget about those headaches. You would just use `lsvirtualenv` then. – Hennadii Madan Oct 31 '15 at 22:25
  • `workon` is, in fact, a `virtualenvwrapper` command, and without arguments it will give you a list of the installed virtualenvs. – holdenweb May 28 '16 at 15:12

If you are using conda try this at the command prompt:

conda env list

This should give you a summary of all accessible environment which you have created.

Using the terminal cd here /Users/${USER}/Library/Jupyter/kernels and then do an ls to see all your names.

From my bash terminal, I type ls and it lists all of my directories from there, including my virtual environments. If you do not see your virtual environments listed, try changing directory into the folder that it is contained in.

To find the lost Django virtual Environments. in the terminal type the command : lsvirtualenv or in Windows Operating System you are able to see it in File Explorer

C:\Users<User Name>\Envs\
