ERROR:: --system is intended to be used for pre-existing Pipfile installation, not installation of specific packages. Aborting

Question

I finished my django project.And ı want to deploy my project on aws.I pulled from github my project and then on virtual computer on aws(ubuntu) run pipenv install,I am getting this error every time.

ERROR:: --system is intended to be used for pre-existing Pipfile installation, not installation of specific packages. Aborting.

How can I fix that

Answer 1

Please run this code.

pipenv --venv

A file directory is returned.This file is already collapsed by some reasons. So you delete this file and you remake it.

In my case, this way solves my problem.

Answer 2

You can get information about any running virtual environments with

pipenv --venv

To end a virtual environment, run:

pipenv --rm

This solved the problem for me. Also, don't be afraid to leverage existing documentation with the --help tag.
