requirements.txt bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I'm working on a github repo which I just cloned. I have a new virtual environment and I'd like to add all of the packages from the requirements.txt file to the virtual env.

For some reason it is not finding my requirements.txt file.

first, execute which pip after activating the environment if you found a space between any of the folders like as seen in this link

you must have noticed a space between the folder name

2nd july

next, delete the new virualenv (in my case envname) and rename the folder with space between its name

then create a new virual environment and then install the requirements through 

pip install -r requirements.txt

on the folder location with the requirements file

Do not use spaces in any component of the path where your virtual environment is stored.

It causes problems for the bootstrapping process.

Create a new blank environment, in a directory that has no spaces in its path:

$ cd  # this takes you to your home directory, in OSX its is /Users/yourlogin
$ cd Desktop
$ virtualenv myvenv
$ source myvenv/bin/activate
(myvenv) $ pip install -r /path/to/requirements.txt

Edit the first line of /Users/byrd/Desktop/Github Repositories/herokusite/venv/bin/pip file to correct the path to python. You can obtain this path by calling which python. I think it should be:

#!/Users/byrd/Desktop/Github\ Repositories/herokusite/venv/bin/python

EDIT: Seems like it is a known bug in unixes - you can't use spaces in shebang line.

Also try this workaround, it may help you.
