Hello, thank you for working on an elegant update tool for ClamAV! This is awesome!

I am curious if I can get some help, stuck on this step (I'm on Fedora 32 desktop workstation) entered normally as myself (underprivileged user), not under root. i think i installed fangfrisch correctly in earlier steps.

[soffeas@localhost ~]$ pip3.8 install --user fangfrisch

Based on the output shown above, you have installed Fangfrisch as user soffeas but want to run the software as user clamav. The two users have different command paths (see PATH environment variable in BASH).

Try executing which fangfrisch as soffeas and use the displayed path for Fangfrisch in your sudo call. Note that this will require read/execute permissions for user clamav.

I don't use Fedora myself, but another option for you might be to install Fangfrisch as clamav right away.
