If you are on python3 , use python3 -m venv <env-name> , env-name being your preferred name for your virtual env.

Also you get that error because virtualenv is not installed on your system. You can install with pip install virtualenv

You have to install "virtualenv". It's not inbuilt.

If you are a beginner I would suggest using anaconda prompt. It's easier to create/activate/deactivate environments in it.
