I'm a complete noob to writing bash scripts. I'm trying to do the following:

#!/bin/bash

mkdir New_Project
cd New_Project
pipenv install ipykernel
pipenv shell
python -m ipykernel install --user --name==new-virtual-env
jupyter notebook

The problem I'm having is that after it executes pipenv shell, it starts the new shell and then doesn't execute the last two commands. When I exit the new shell it then tries to execute the remaining lines. Is there any way to get a script to run all of these commands from start to finish?

  • You could enter the venv with source $(pipenv --venv)/bin/activate. That would activate the virtual environment that you created with pipenv install without opening a new shell (which is what pipenv shell does). Then you need to use deactivate (not exit) to stop the venv. I hope that helps. Commented Mar 22, 2021 at 18:24

As per the manual :

shell will spawn a shell with the virtualenv activated.

which is not what you need. Instead use run :

run will run a given command from the virtualenv, with any arguments forwarded (e.g. $ pipenv run python).

In your case, something like

pipenv run python -m ipykernel install --user --name==new-virtual-env
