Issues with installing tensorflow for python using virtualenv

I am trying to install tensorflow for python on a Mac, and I am following the instructions provided on the website. I decided to use virtualenv because pip has been giving me issues lately, and the website recommended virtualenv as well. Although I apparently have downloaded tensorflow for Python 3, I also want to have it available in Python 2 (which I use more anyway). Here is what I have done so far:

$virtualenv --system-site-packages ~/tensorflow
$ cd ~/tensorflow
tensorflow$ pip install --upgrade tensorflow

I get the following message to show up: Requirement already up-to-date: tensorflow in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (1.8.0)

If you have any suggestions or commands to run, that would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to create a virtual environment with python 2,

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 my_project

and then activate your project,

source my_project/bin/activate

check the environment and then install tensorflow,

python --version
pip --version
pip list

pip install tensorflow
