I am trying to set the tools for Jupyter notebook, needed for going through the book called: Programming Bitcoin by Jimmy Song I’ve done all the steps from the guide: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/programming-bitcoin/9781492031482/preface01.html#setting_up
but got stuck on the step 7:
While typing the command: virtualenv -p
I get this error:
usage: virtualenv [--version] [--with-traceback] [-v | -q] [--read-only-app-data ] [--app-data APP_DATA] [--reset-app-data] [--upgrade-embed-wheels] [--discovery {builtin}] [-p py] [--try-first-with py_exe] virtualenv: error: argument -p/--python: expected one argument SystemExit: 2
The screenshot: Link to the image
Could there be a fix?

Answer
As the error says, your command is missing an argument.
error: argument -p/--python: expected one argument
Enter the full command as given in the instructions you linked to:
virtualenv -p C:PathToYourPythonInstallationPython.exe .venv
Replace the path with your actual path.
