Hello,

I’m checking this article [https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/17.1.0/docs/custom\_virtualenvs.md](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/17.1.0/docs/custom_virtualenvs.md)

I added these lines in the Makefile file:

requirements\_custom:  
mkdir -p /opt/my-envs  
virtualenv /opt/my-envs/my-custom-env  
/opt/my-envs/my-custom-env/bin/pip install psutil

however, this didn’t create the directory /opt/my-envs on awx\_task and awx\_web containers. Also, it didn’t add the custom env in the AWX portal settings section.

Can you help me?

Regards

Jose Osorio R.
