【Linux】The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not available.

问题描述

在 Ubuntu 系统上使用 Python3.8 创建虚拟环境时报错：

$ python -m venv venv
The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
available.  On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
package using the following command.

    apt install python3.8-venv

You may need to use sudo with that command.  After installing the python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.

解决方案

报错信息中其实已经给了解决方案：

apt install python3.8-venv

当然，如果你不是 root 用户，得加上 sudo：

sudo apt install python3.8-venv

但还是报错：

$ sudo apt-get install python3.8-venv
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package python3.8-venv is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'python3.8-venv' has no installation candidate

这个是因为 apt 好久没有更新了，更新一下：

sudo apt-get update

更新之后继续安装：

sudo apt install python3.8-venv

完美解决！
