I created a virtual environment through python -m venv env in python and tried to install packages with pip on it. I've got this error:

Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding
Python runtime state: core initialized
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'encodings'

I'm using Windows, does it has something to do with the environment variables? (PYTHONPATH, PYTHONHOME)

pip virtualenv environment-variables package python

Turns out that you have to reinstall python and check Add Python to environmental variables in Advanced Options.
