Workaround

I solved thie problem by run following code:

sudo -E bash -c 'pip install pyq'

It seems env variable doesn't share with sudoer. If you know workaround, please provide it here.

Please show full output.

[fouvy]

full output is:

(python36) eam238@eam238-System-Product-Name:~$ pyq
'2019.06.19T14:37:46.689 pyq_executable
  [2]  /q/python.q:5: run:py`$pyq_executable

[fouvy]

Another method to solve this problem:

git clone https://github.com/kxsystems/pyq.git
sudo -E bash -c 'pip install ./pyq'

[sashkab]

we don't recommend using sudo pip install pyq.

any reason you're cloning repository and not installing it with pip install pyq?

[fouvy]

cuz, install packages for multi users ...

[sashkab]

using virtual environment works perfectly fine for multiple users. we've been using this method for years with zero issues, no root user was required. Each virtual environment can have different version not only kdb+ installed, but PyQ as well.
