Unable to use gnome-pomodoro-tracking command

[billmdevs]

When installing on Ubuntu 24.04 I get a gnome-pomodoro-tracking: command not found error.

Even after having installed it with python3.8 -m pip install -U gnome-pomodoro-tracking

pip3 install -U gnome-pomodoro-tracking doesn't work directly on Ubuntu 24.04 with the error

error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
    python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
    install.

Thank you very much! It can install now but the command gnome-pomodoro-tracking doesn't work. When I lauch it or when I try to add a token or do anything else it says it's not found. Here is the error gnome-pomodoro-tracking: command not found

Are you sure it's not https://github.com/gnome-pomodoro/gnome-pomodoro-tracking/issues/21 ?

[billmdevs]

I'm certain because in the issue you linked the command gnome-pomodoro-tracking works. It's just that the plugin auth is not working. In my case the command just doesn't work at all even if I don't place any arguments to it.

Validate if your $PATH includes $HOME/.local/bin regularly installs to this location.

If it doesn't exist, add it using this command: echo 'export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

Perfect! Thank you very much Jose! That worked.

@billmdevs can you reproduce https://github.com/gnome-pomodoro/gnome-pomodoro-tracking/issues/21#issuecomment-2367757309?

Nope! Everything is working alright when I try now.
