[SOLVED] Change Virtualenv save location

Issue

I just set up a virtualenv, but I can only access it from the virtualenv-1.9.1 folder which is in my downloads folder (I'm on a mac).

How do I move this virtualenv to my project folder?

Info: both venv and myvenv are virtualenv. I just need to move one though.

Thanks

Solution

You could freeze your current env and get all the pacakges in it in a requirements file, then create a new virtualenv in the directory you desire.

cd your/package/directory
virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r path/to/your/saved/requirements/file

Judging by your comments, I think it is important to understand that environments can be created anywhere on your filesystem you choose. By using terminal and the virtualenv command you can create environments in any directory
