Build failed at creating venv virtual environment: `VIRTUAL_ENV=/Users/xxxxx/crew_agent/venv-3.11` does not match the project environment path `.venv` and will be ignored

Jason_Zhang · November 26, 2024, 11:08pm

I was following the crew ai tutorial and these are the steps that I have done:

Create and activate a python virtual environment, version is 3.11.9
Install crewai and crewai tools
Create latest-ai-development project
Go into the project directory and run crewai install

I got the following error message:

You have currently two Python versions installed on your computer.

This line says that you’re using Python interpreter v3.13.0. Although you installed Python v3.11.9, you’re using a newer interpreter when running commands, which is not compatible with CrewAI.

If you’re using Visual Studio Code, then change the Python interpreter as follows:

Press Ctrl + Shift + P on Windows or ⌘ + ⇧ + P on Mac.
Type the following command: > Python: Select Interpreter
Choose the Python interpreter v3.11.9.

@rokbenko thank you, your solution worked for me
