virtualenv: Use a different version of Python with virtualenv.

virtualenv

$ virtualenv --python=${path-to-pythonbin} ${path-to-venv}

try on your machine

The command virtualenv --python=${path-to-pythonbin} ${path-to-venv} is used to create a virtual environment in Python using the virtualenv package.

Let's break down the command:

virtualenv is the command-line tool used to create virtual environments.
--python=${path-to-pythonbin} is an option that specifies the path to the Python interpreter binary which should be used to create the virtual environment. Replace ${path-to-pythonbin} with the actual path to the Python interpreter binary file.
${path-to-venv} is the path where the virtual environment will be created. Replace ${path-to-venv} with the desired location for the virtual environment.

By running this command, a new virtual environment will be created at the specified path. This virtual environment will have its own isolated Python environment, separate from the system's Python installation. You can then activate the virtual environment and install packages specific to your project without affecting the system-wide Python installation or other virtual environments.
