Setting up virtual environment in Django

i just started learning django and i am very confused in how to set up a virtual environment.

i have successfully installed python:

When i run python --version i get Python 3.8.1

and when i run python3 --version i get Python 3.8.1

My first problem is when i run which -a python3 i get this

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/python3

/usr/local/bin/python3

/usr/bin/python3

Can someone help me understand why i have 3 locations where python3 exist?

My 2nd problem is i have successfully installed virtaulenv and virtualenvwrapper

when i run virtualenv --version i get:

virtualenv 20.4.3 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/virtualenv/__init__.py

and when i run virtualenvwrapper --version i get:

-bash: virtualenvwrapper: command not found

thats why when i run mkvirtualenv test i keep getting command not found.

My third problem is what is the difference between virtualenv test and mkvirtualenv test?

If you are using Ubuntu you can follow the steps below

  1. Go to the folder where you intend to keep your Django project
  2. Run the command python -m venv env
  3. env is the name of virtual env if python doesn't work try with python3
  4. activate environment by source env/bin/activate env is the name of environment.
  5. Install all dependencies make a new folder and import Django project in it.
