Answer 4

If you are using python 3.x, Please try this commands

sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip

sudo pip3 install virtualenv

Answer 5

We tried the above but they didn't work in our case because we had two versions of python3 on the systems. One via a normal install a few months back and one via brew (on a Mac). When we discovered that, we downloaded and installed the latest version from python.org and as a result the pip was updated too. Once the pip was installed the sudo pip3 install virturaenv command worked fine.
