I installed with pip on OSX, now how do I run it? #211

It seems like a stupidly simple problem, I've installed the youtube-dlg program using pip on MacOS Sierra 10.12.3, got my dependencies in order through some struggling (wxpython3 instead of version 4), etc., and then now that I've gotten to a point where everything seems to be installed where it should be fit to run, I can't seem to figure out how. Here's where I got to.

$ sudo -H pip install youtube-dlg Requirement already satisfied: youtube-dlg in /private/var/root/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages

My question is, how do I simply run youtube-dlg? The app name and path are listed, and I'm naively stuck on where to go next. This may be a pathing issue I'm not aware of. I was hoping to run it once and find a way to keep it either pinned to the Dock or in Apps seeing as it is a GUI. Getting this to work on windows was easy enough, but unfortunately in the OS world I am master of none, user of many.

EDIT: I forgot to use the python command, duh. python youtube-dlg

In case anyone sees this, note wxpython version 3 is neeeded, not the current 4 which homebrew will install. Here's a link. Also thanks for the awesome app. https://wxpython.org/snapshots/wxPython3.0-osx-3.0.3.0.b20160914-cocoa-py2.7.dmg

Or you could just type youtube-dl-gui in your terminal and hit Enter.

You can also create an desktop launcher (or whatever it's called in the Mac world) and use that to launch the application from you desktop-dock-etc.
