Hi, Congrats for your work. I m facing that error when i m running the command. I'm using Ubuntu 20.10 and i ve installed the dependencies using pip3. Do you know by any chance what causes this? Thank you!

If the command is not found, it's because your shell doesn't find it anywhere.

Have you added your pip library to $PATH?

On my system, pip installs stuff to ~/.local/bin/ which is part of my $PATH, and since the binary program when-changed is found there, it knows where to find it.

You can add a path directory to the current shell (and children) with export PATH=$PATH:the_absolute_path_of_the_directory_with_the_program. It's conventional to add something like this to your .bashrc file, so it does it automatically on each new terminal.
