    word of warning.. This did not do what I expected it to do, which was to create a virtual environment called myenvname in some standard location. Instead, it created a directory called ./myenvname/, and put a bunch of files in it. Since I already had a directory with that name, those files are all mixed up with what I had before. I think better is python3 -m venv ~/path/to/where/you/want/it (I recognize it was naive of me to expect it to do something without reading the docs first) Commented Sep 17, 2024 at 1:32
