Hello,Lynn: I‘m new to coding with Python. I just found out your website yesterday and i think it is pertty cool! My question is ,for a new coder,is it necessary to use virtualenv & virtualenvwrapper? I am totally lost when i setup V&V prompt,filepath is different with tutorial and there are too many SystemErrors. What will happen if i avoid using them when i learn tutorials what follows? Thanks again for your share!

Hi eric,

I too came across this issue.

Are you using Mac and do you already have MAMP software installed? If yes, write this in your ~/.bash_profile file

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH

then save.

Now try installing virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper as per newcoder.io instructions.

Thanks, Shahbaaz
