Installing in virtual environment

virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions. virtualenv can help you install this client without needing system install permissions. It creates an environment that has its own installation directories without sharing libraries with other virtualenv environments or the system installation.
