Where and how to install virtualenv ?

Description

The tutorial page: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/intro/reusable-apps/#installing-python-packages-with-virtualenv does not clarify how to install virtualenv. For a begginer tutorial you should explain some advance commands an not to throw the poor person reading the tutorial to the "virtualenv" documentation. Instead explain where and how to install and afterwards send the poor person to the docs.

Kind regards-

It's not discussed because this is a Django tutorial, not a virtualenv tutorial.

It’s also titled as an Advanced tutorial’’. It’s pretty reasobable by that stage that someone could get going following the instructions, if somehow they’d not heard about it before (which seems unlikely really).

(We could now rewrite that section just mentioning venv, the standard library module, that comes with all support versions of Python).
