18.04 /etc/skel VirtualEnv New User Gets Permission Denied












0















I'm working on creating a server environment which will contain multiple developers, I want to set up a virtual environment for them that will exist when the account gets created. I ran the following inside of /etc/skel/:



virtualenv -p python3 env



Then created the new user and the files got copied over. I'm able to enter into the virtual environment but when I'm in I get a permission denied error and it's showing the path from /etc/skel/env/ and not ~/env/



The error reads:




Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/skel/env/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pytz'
Consider using the --user option or check the permissions.




I've looked everywhere and I can't seem to find out why the path is showing /etc/skel if I'm running the copied machine from ~/env/



I've checked all online info I could find on virtualenv as well as the /etc/skel/ directory



I've attempted to run the following to no avail as well after trying to find out information about moving a virtualenvironment from one folder to another.



virtualenv --relocatable env



I'm sure I've just done something stupid and I thank you for any help.
