yep, you need it to be part of the environment
SubstantialElk6 you are right, only agent running docker mode will do it, you are running venv mode.
The clearml-agent will try to build a specific virtual environment for your task, with virtualenv . You can just install it in the environment the clearml-agent is running from (python3.6?) with python3.6 -m pip install virtualenv and it should work 🙂
Hi this is the log. I didn't see any attempt from the agent to install virtualenv on the base image.

Hi, so you meant i need to installl virtualenv in my base image?
Hi SubstantialElk6 ,
You can use any docker image you have access too.
Can you attach the logs with the error? virtualenv should be install with the clearml-agent
