Hi Team,

In the Mac setup process, virtual environment  python does not work and I believe the life py-2venv is missing @ 

https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/hello_network

on my mac after clone

ls
LICENSE hello_network hello_network.sh
README.md hello_network.py

 

Thanks

Ravi

Hi @rkumar2 

The venv is something you need to install/create on your own laptop.

If you are using python2, I would suggest to install and use python3.

However, if for whatever reason you still wanna continue with py2, the commands to use for creating the venv are:

python -m pip install py2venv
python -m venv /path/to/venv
source venv/bin/activate

For python3:

python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv
python3 -m venv /path/to/venv
source venv/bin/activate

Note: best way is to first move to the directory where your project is, and there to use python -m venv venv as this command will create the venv directory in the current project dir.

Stay safe,

Sergiu
