Python - manually install package using virtualenv
I typically would extract the program to a temporary folder, then from that folder, run the setup.py using the direct path to the virtualenv python instance. eg if your virtualenv is in /home/username/virtualpy, use this (from your temporary folder)
/home/username/virtualpy/bin/python setup.py installThis should install it to your virtualenv site package folder.
well when you switch to the virtual environment. you should type
which python
and if it returns the path where your virtual environment exists then its okay you can directly run this command.
$ python setup.py build$ python setup.py installbut if it gives the global level path which is not your virtualenv's path then you should try using
$ ~/.virtualenv/python-env/bin/python setup.py build$ ~/.virtualenv/python-env/bin/python setup.py install
If a package won't install from repository, try under venv by use sudo.As example for python pathos package;
/venv3.6/bin$ sudo pip3 install pathos
