I bet your shell is Bash. If so, add those three lines into the .bash_profile file in your home directory.

Hi Kenneth, I am struggling setting up virtualenv in Linux Mint. I created a post of the Forums addressing my issue. It has the "virtualenv" tag on it. Id appreciate any help as your Windows and Mac videos don't really help me at this stage. I have googled a lot and produced no solid answers for doing this on Linux Mint. Thanks
