how do you get virtualenv to work in windows

On windows 10, virtualenv installs but that's where it stops. Using the "one basic command", "virtualenv MyPathandFile", only gives the error: "'virtualenv' is not recognized as an internal or external command".

Tried "python virtualenv" or variations of it doesn't work either. These give the message: "no such file or directory" Are there other packages required? It was installed in an administrator cmd window. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling as well.

And finally, is there another, easier way to make virtual environments?

It sounds like it is not in your path. Can you go to your python installation directory and look for a folder called Scripts? There should be a virtualenv.exe script there. If it is there, add the path to that folder to your path environment variable.

You can also try python -m virtualenv and see what that returns.

See my Scripts folder (notice virtualenv at the bottom): my Scripts folder
