When I run the command

workon env

Following error displayed

ERROR: Environment 'env' does not exist. Create it with 'mkvirtualenv env'

If you want to create virtualenv in /var/www/env to use workon

sudo chown <user> -R /var/www/

Then in nano ~/.bashrc and add following lines.

export WORKON_HOME=/var/www/.virtualenvs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Then create virtualenv

mkvirtualenv env

Then to activate

workon env

I tested via sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

As suggested by error, create it with 'mkvirtualenv env'. You've created /var/www/env instead of env only
