title: Why doesn't my Intellij Ultimate detect virtualenv?
body: <p>I've opened a Python project from IntelliJ Utlimate 2019.2.5 after using Pycharm.</p>
  
  <p>I've the IDEA to a newly created virtualenv project SDK under <code>&lt;root&gt;/.virtualenv</code> directory, however, I cannot run <code>pip install</code> on the requirements using the terminal because virtualenv is not working, and I'm using my global python installation.</p>
  
  <p>Opening the same project back in Pycharm brings it back to life again.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a specific configuration I've missed (though I doubt that because there are only <a href="https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-virtual-environment.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">these</a> instructions).</p>
