How do I get msm globally #95

Closed gregpalaci closed 3 years ago

I've followed the install instructions but msm is not found. I'm not a python developer, do I need another step?

Hi there, I'm assuming you are using this on a device that has Mycroft installed.

We use a Python virtual environment rather than installing all of Mycroft's dependencies globally. You can use this without activating the python venv by using mycroft-msm instead of msm. If the command isn't available on your system $PATH you can find it in mycroft-core/bin/mycroft-msm.

If you really do want to install MSM globally you can do so by running pip install msm from outside the python venv. I would however question the need for this, and assume it's probably not going to solve whatever problem you are facing.

would it be beneficial to add the source step to the msm docs? As a primarily js developer I was pretty lost. Thanks for the help
