I am trying to use a Python virtual environment for the first time while trying to learn Django. I am using the instructions here. As I am using git bash on Windows, I am following the setup instructions for Windows. I installed virtualenvwrapper using

pip3 install virtualenvwrapper-win

Now the command mkvirtualenv gets me bash: mkvirtualenv: command not found

I tried the solutions here to no avail.

pip3 list shows that the package is, in fact, installed, but there is no virtualenvwrapper (or virtualenv) .sh files in the site-packages directory, and the only related file I can find is virtualenvwrapper_win-1.2.5-py3.6.egg-info in an AppData/Roaming directory.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I had the same problem and tried uninstalling virtualenvwrapper-win, just to see the list of files that would be removed. I saw that the mkvirtualenv was located in C:\Python\Python37\Scripts.

I noticed I was using the 64bit version of python (C:\Python\Python37\) alongside the 32bit one (C:\Python\Python37-32\), both folders being in the PATH of my system's properties. I removed the 32bit version's directories from the PATH and this seemed to work.

PS: I also noticed that running the commands from the MINGW terminal requires them to also have the .bat extension added:
