I set up a virtualenv
, which is working, but for some reason I need to use sudo
for commands as simple as mkdir
. Obviously I did something incorrectly. Any idea what it might be?
Thanks

The commands
cd test
sudo virtualenv python
creates a directory called python
which is owned by root.
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2010-04-17 11:40 python
That would force you to use sudo
for simple things like making a directory inside the python
directory.
The fix would be to delete the python
directory (saving data first if necessary) and issue the command
virtualenv python
without the sudo
.
Check the directory permissions and owner and give:
$ sudo chown -R me:me virtualenvdir
$ sudo chmod -R a+rX virtualenvdir
change me
with your username, typically $USER, and virtualenvdir
with your virtualenv's work directory.
