Having trouble installing Django 1.8 in virtualenv

Question

I'm in my project directory (a Django project) on the target device (Raspberry Pi) and want to install Django 1.8 in a virtual environment. I run the following commands:

sudo pip-3.2 install virtualenv
virtualenv-3.2 venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip-3.2 install Django==1.8

But pip tries to install Django at /usr/local/lib and errors at:

creating /usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages/django

error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python3.2/dist-packages/django': Permission denied

I thought that activating the virtual environment makes pip install things in the project venv dir. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

Use pip instead of pip-3.2

source venv/bin/activate
pip install Django==1.8

It seems pip-3.2 is pointing to system pip. You can check by which pip-3.2
