pip3 is installing django globally not inside my environment

Question

I used virtualenvwrapper to create a new env but when I tried to install pip3 to install newer versions of django it was install globally although my environment was activated , which leads to global installation of django .. How can I use it only inside my virtual env

did you activated virtual env first ? If you see env name in front of name in terminal - it is activated. If it is activated try python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip then python3 -m pip install django it is obliged to install last stable version of django (3rd for now) I'm doing this often

perhaps you use sudo in front ? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14695278/python-packages-not-installing-in-virtualenv-using-pip#14695504 – Igor Tischenko Feb 04 '20 at 11:20

Use below commands to install django inside virtual environment.

1) upgrade pip3: python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip 2) Install virtual env pip3 install virtualenv 3) You can then create a virtualenv using the full path like this: virtualenv -p /home/example_username/opt/python-3.6.2/bin/python3 venv 4) Activate virtual env source venv/bin/activate 5) install Django pip3 install Django

1.create a virtualenvironment with virtualenv or venv. 2.Activate the virtual environment by entering in the virtual environment folder and type this command if you are on windows cd scripts then type activate.bat or if you are using git bash just do . scripts/activate then you will see ("name of your virtual environment") which proves that your virtual environment is active. 3.Then you can pip install django in your virtual environment some images below to guide you enter image description here
