virtualenv <directoryName>
where you replace <directoryName> with the name of the directory you would like to create. Then activate your virtualenv like this:
source <directoryName>/bin/activate.csh #use this for tcsh or source <directoryName>/bin/activate.sh #use this for bash
Use "deactivate" to exit the virtualenv. Install various packages using "pip install <packageName>" as show in these instructions.
