When you ask the question, try to also explain what are you trying to do, and not only the error you get :)

If I'm guessing correctly, you're trying to create a new virtual environment. When executing the virtualenv command you need to specify a name (dest) for it, so that it will create the virtual environment under that folder.

Your command should look like this:

virtualenv venv

where venv is the name of the folder that will get created.
