Python virtualenv: Unable to install Python 3.5

Question

I have created a virtualenv using pip but unable to install python 3.5 in the virtual environment. When I try this:

virtualenv venv1 --python=python3.5

I am getting this error:

The path python3.5 (from --python=python3.5) does not exist

But I am able to install python 2.7 in the virtual environment without any issues. The error message is not clear, please suggest how to install python 3.5 in this virtual environment.

Try with full path: --python=/usr/bin/python3.5 for example. — falsetru

You need to install Python 3 by downloading it from official Python Website https://python.org . You can then call 'virtualenv --name' from your command line and this will create a virtual environment at the current directory with the --name you provided. It will also install Python 3 for you.
