Windows Tutorial Step 2 Generate Your Package git errors #122

Open jschwarzwalder opened 8 years ago

jschwarzwalder commented 8 years ago

I was unable to get venv to run in git bash, so I was using Command Prompt for the tutorial.

when I try in bash and typed invirtualenv ~/.virtualenvs/mypackage it got the error virtualenv:command not found

I was using Python3.4.3 on a Windows 8 machine

When I tried to use my command prompt I got a message that git was not a recognized command.

I looked up how to add git to my path, and added the path to my cmd folder,

Then I was able to successfully run cookiecutter https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage.git
