I have Python 3.7 installed on my Mac and installed the package pipreqs with the command pip3 install pipreqs --user.
When I try to run pipreqs path/to/file I get an -bash: pipreqs: command not found error.
I get that it's looking in the wrong place, which is why the package can't be found.
I've been seeing a few posts like this helping people reset their paths. I really have no idea where to start. Is this something I can just do from the command line, or do I actually have to edit a file using vim or something. Do I ~/.bashrc directly?
When I run run echo $path I get
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/dev/opt/bin:/Users/dev/opt/bin:/Users/dev/dev/bin:/Users/dev/.local/bin My username is dev.
EDIT:
$ pip3 show -f pipreqs | grep /pipreqs

../../../bin/pipreqs
pipreqs/__pycache__/pipreqs.cpython-37.pyc
pipreqs/pipreqs.py
This was the fix:
$ open ~/.bash_profile
Then, in the editor,
export PATH="/Users/<my-username>/Library/Python/<python-edition>/bin:$PATH"
Then save the editor (with ctrl-s).
Then you need to 'activate' the .bash_profile using source. I believe you can also just close and reopen terminal.
$ source ~/.bash_profile
pipreqs now works as a command.
