When we were running some python based test applications, we got following error,
Cannot run program "virtualenv": error=2, No such file or directorySolution :
This problem is because your application is trying to use the virtualenv binary to setup some environment , but it was not able to find it on our Ubuntu Linux machine.

$ sudo apt-cache search virtualenvThis returned list of large number of packages based on virtualenv, but as we could see from below, we identified it as base package which we need to install.

$ sudo apt-get install python3-virtualenv
