Virtualenv can be installed using pip:

pip3 install virtualenv

If this approach fails, try:

# Ignore system files and folders - Ubuntu
*.*~

# Ignore Python related files
*.py[cod]
__pycache__/
.cache/

# Ignore virtualenv files and folders
pip-selfcheck.json

Installing Prometheus on Ubuntu 16.04

sudo adduser --no-create-home --disabled-login --shell /bin/false --gecos "Node Exporter User" node_exporter
sudo adduser --no-create-home --disabled-login --shell /bin/false --gecos "Alertm
