DESCRIPTION
The virtualenv utility creates virtual Python instances, each invokable with its own Python executable. Each instance can have different sets of modules, installable via easy_install. Virtual Python instances can also be created without root access. optional arguments: --version display the version of the virtualenv package and it's location, then exit --with-traceback on failure also display the stacktrace internals of virtualenv (default: False) --app-data APP_DATA a data folder used as cache by the virtualenv (default: <temp folder>) --clear-app-data start with empty app data folder (default: False) -h, --help show this help message and exit verbosity: verbosity = verbose - quiet, default INFO, mapping => CRITICAL=0, ERROR=1, WARNING=2, INFO=3, DEBUG=4, NOTSET=5 -v, --verbose increase verbosity (default: 2) -q, --quiet decrease verbosity (default: 0) discovery: discover and provide a target interpreter --discovery {builtin} interpreter discovery method (default: builtin) -p py, --python py target interpreter for which to create a virtual (either absolute path or identifier string) (default: /usr/bin/python3) creator: options for creator builtin --creator {builtin,cpython3-posix,venv} create environment via (builtin = cpython3-posix) (default: builtin) dest directory to create virtualenv at --clear remove the destination directory if exist before starting (will overwrite files otherwise) (default: False) --system-site-packages give the virtual environment access to the system site-packages dir (default: False) --symlinks try to use symlinks rather than copies, when symlinks are not the default for the platform (default: True) --copies, --always-copy try to use copies rather than symlinks, even when symlinks are the default for the platform (default: False) seeder: options for seeder app-data --seeder {app-data,pip} seed packages install method (default: app-data) --no-seed, --without-pip do not install seed packages (default: False) --download pass to enable download of the latest pip, setuptools, and wheel from PyPI (default: False) --no-download, --never-download pass to disable download of the latest pip, setuptools, and wheel from PyPI (default: True) --extra-search-dir d [d ...] a path containing wheels the seeder may also use beside bundled (can be set 1+ times) (default: []) --pip version pip version to install, bundle for bundled (default: latest) --setuptools version setuptools version to install, bundle for bundled (default: latest) --wheel version wheel version to install, bundle for bundled (default: latest) --no-pip do not install pip (default: False) --no-setuptools do not install setuptools (default: False) --no-wheel do not install wheel (default: False) --symlink-app-data symlink the python packages from the app-data folder (requires seed pip>=19.3) (default: False) activators: options for activation scripts --activators comma_sep_list activators to generate - default is all supported (default: bash,cshell,fish,powershell,python,xonsh) --prompt prompt provides an alternative prompt prefix for this environment (default: None) config file $HOME/.config/virtualenv/virtualenv.ini (change via env var VIRTUALENV_CONFIG_FILE)
