Although some people might like to use virtualenvwrapper, that's certainly not a prerequisite.

I don't have an Ubuntu 20.04 system handy just now, but a package-search (https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=virtualenv&searchon=names&suite=focal&section=all) seems to indicate that the package is just called virtualenv on that distribution (not python-virtualenv as in Debian itself). So, perhaps that's the only change needed (to note that Ubuntu users may need apt install virtualenv instead of apt install python-virtualenv)..?

Also we need instructions that work for python2 still (not python3 as the above are for). As much as I might wish for python3 to work now ;) it doesn't yet...

Thanks for letting me know. I tested

apt install virtualenv

and it works.

I will update this ticket for that instead.
