Unable to set authentication #84

Closed pete7863 closed 4 years ago

pete7863 commented 5 years ago

I just finished installing the package using 'pip install myfitnesspal', but I am unable to store my password for authentication using 'myfitnesspal store-password my_username'. After I enter that command, I get ''. -bash: myfitnesspal: command not found'. Is there something else I need to install or do? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Has anyone found a solution?

pete7863 commented 5 years ago

I believe the store-password is not functional on a raspberry pi (doesn't have a built-in password keychain). However, I ended up just using the raw credentials and storing them in a local json file. This seemed like a far easier option than looking for packages to support the password storing functionality.

I'm sure you've figured this out by now, @pete7863 , but it looks like when you installed myfitnesspal, the myfitnesspal binary wasn't added to your $PATH. I can't tell you for certain where your local python installation will put binaries, but what you need to do is find that path (you could perhaps figure it out by running something like find / -name 'myfitnesspal') and adding the directory in which you find the myfitnesspal executable to your $PATH list.

Cheers & good luck.
