Can't start virtual environment! Issue with anaconda

[beccanock]

after typing pip install virtualenv into terminal:
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): virtualenv in /anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages

after typing virtualenv venv into terminal:

Using base prefix '//anaconda’
New python executable in /Users/rhnock/projects/myhellowebapp/venv/bin/python
ERROR: The executable /Users/rhnock/projects/myhellowebapp/venv/bin/python is not functioning
ERROR: It thinks sys.prefix is ‘/Users/rhnock/projects/myhellowebapp’ (should be ‘/Users/rhnock/projects/myhellowebapp/venv’)
ERROR: virtualenv is not compatible with this system or executable

I used this link and it worked for me: http://uoa-eresearch.github.io/eresearch-cookbook/recipe/2014/11/20/conda/

Thank you – this was very helpful. But now I’m stuck trying to install Django. Following the format indicated in the eResearch link, I entered the following in the command line:

conda install -n venv django==1.9.6

But receive the following error:

PackageNotFoundError: Package not found: ‘’ Package missing in current osx-64 channels:

• django ==1.9.6

You can search for packages on anaconda.org with

anaconda search -t conda django

What is the correct command I should enter? Thanks!

Sounds like django 1.9.6 may not be available in the repository. Try leaving off the “==1.9.6” to install the latest version.
