How to install virtualenvwrapper on El Capitan?

I already installed pip and virtualenv on my mac, however I ran into issues when trying to install virtualenvwrapper. When I try to reinstall it, it says:

The directory '/Users/mhcadmin/Library/Caches/pip/http' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and the cache has been disabled. Please check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

But when I run mkvirtualenv I get the following message

mhcadmin$ mkvirtualenv 

-bash: mkvirtualenv: command not found

I also tried following this post Installing virtualenv virtualenvwrapper with pip on osx 10.11.1 but it didn't work.

This is what my bash_profile looks like:

# Python's virtualenvwrapper-RELATED

export WORKON_HOME=/Users/mhcadmin/.virtualenvs

source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

and this is what my bashrc looks like:

export WORKON_HOME=~/.virtualenvs

source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Figured it out. Here

http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/how-do-you-find-folders-like-usr-local-bin-in-finder.99576/

I found that I could access usr/local/bin by typing 

open -a Finder /usr/local/bin

Then I found the virtualenvwrapper.sh by using 

which virtualenvwrapper.sh

then i just copied the virtualenvwrapper.sh into usr/local/bin
