Hi,

I've installed ankify_roam using pip. However I can't get passed this error :

zsh: command not found: ankify_roam

I can't get over it... any idea? Thank you for building such a tool!

Hey jeadev,

Can you walk me through all the steps you took to get there? Something like:

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open terminal
  2. Execute pip install ankify-roam
  3. Output: ...
  4. Execute ankify_roam add my_repo.json
  5. See bug: zsh: command not found: ankify_roam

Also some information about your environment so I can reproduce it:

Hey Taylor, sorry for the delay. I think the problem is in the fact that I can't run ankify_roam in my mac terminal and I don't know why... maybe I need to cd in a specific folder ?

It looks like some kind of permissions issue which is preventing it from being installed. I'm not really sure what's going on there... Let's try setting you up similar to my set up and see if that works:

  1. First just remove anything that was installed: pip uninstall ankify-roam
  2. Then download and install the miniconda python distribution: https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install/macos.html
  3. Once finished, make sure to close and then reopen your terminal
  4. Run which python. It should output something like this but with your username instead of mine. This confirms that you're now using the miniconda3 version of python: /Users/taylormitchell/miniconda3/bin/python
  5. Follow the same steps you did before: pip install ankify-roam, etc..

Installing miniconda solved it ! Thank you so much
