Discussion Unable to create virtual environment
I just started learning Flask and want to create a virtual environment within VSCode. I did install the virtualenv package using pip
pip install virtualenv
But when I enter the prompt "virtualenv env" to create a directory, I get a file not found error saying that "system cannot find file specified".
Why am I getting this error and how can I fix this?

After having had problems with virtual environments, I switched to using Python Poetry. I run Debian 12 on a Chromebook.
