Hello,
To find a command, your shell searches in order the directories referenced in the environment variable
Example :
All these directories require administrative privileges (for obvious security reasons) to add other executables. Since you run
Solution 1: install pyinstaller as root
Here is what it looks like on my end:
Solution 2: add ~/.local/bin to your PATH
You can add at the end of the
Good luck!
To find a command, your shell searches in order the directories referenced in the environment variable
PATHwhich you can display with the command:
echo $PATH
Example :
(mando@silk) (~) $ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
All these directories require administrative privileges (for obvious security reasons) to add other executables. Since you run
pip3without
sudo,
pip3does not have the rights to install
pyinstallerin
/usr/local/bin(which would be the directory where the executable would be installed if you used
sudo pip3 install pyinstaller). It probably deploys it in something like
~/.local/binwhere
~represents your home directory (e.g.
/home/toto). If this directory is not in your
PATH, your shell cannot find this executable because it will not look in that directory.
Solution 1: install pyinstaller as root
sudo pip3 install pyinstaller which pyinstaller
Here is what it looks like on my end:
(mando@silk) (~) $ which pyinstaller
/usr/local/bin/pyinstaller
Solution 2: add ~/.local/bin to your PATH
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin which pyinstaller
You can add at the end of the
~/.bashrcfile the directive to automatically correct your
PATHthe next time you launch a shell:
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin
Good luck!
