    A python virtual environment will allow for isolation between the Python packages of your system and those used for Kallithea.
    It is strongly recommended to use it to ensure that Kallithea does not change a dependency that other software uses or vice versa.
 
-In a command prompt type::
-
-  pip install virtualenv
-
-Virtualenv will now be inside your Python Scripts path (C:\\Python27\\Scripts or similar).

 To create a virtual environment, run::
 
-  virtualenv C:\Kallithea\Env
+  python3 -m venv C:\Kallithea\Env
 
 Step 7 -- Install Kallithea
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 In order to install Kallithea, you need to be able to run "pip install kallithea". It will use pip to install the Kallithea Python package and its dependencies.
 Some Python packages use managed code and need to be compiled.
-This can be done on Linux without any special steps. On Windows, you will need to install Microsoft Visual C++ compiler for Python 2.7.

 .. note::
   You can also install the dependencies using already compiled Windows binaries packages. A good source of compiled Python packages is http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/. However, not all of the necessary packages for Kallithea are on this site and some are hard to find, so we will stick with using the compiler.
