How to solve "virtualenv: error: the following arguments are required: dest" error?

Question

As the title says, I keep on having that error and I don't know how to solve it.

The error, as the title says is

virtualenv: error: the following arguments are required: dest

The command I entered was

virtualenv

I am running this on a MAC and on python

Solution

When you ask the question, try to also explain what are you trying to do, and not only the error you get :)

If I'm guessing correctly, you're trying to create a new virtual environment. When executing the virtualenv command you need to specify a name (dest) for it, so that it will create the virtual environment under that folder.

Your command should look like this:

virtualenv venv

where venv is the name of the folder that will get created.

While it requires more effort, it's much more useful to copy and paste code or, in this case, console data to Stack Overflow. You should avoid linking to images of code unless there's a really good reason to (e.g., highlighting an interface element of an IDE). Can you update your answer with this information directly?
