Description
After installation of kikit, kikit is not usable in the command line on linux, additional steps are needed to get it working in the command line
Steps to Reproduce

more precise:
in case of python 3.11:
python3.11 -m site &> /dev/null && PATH="$PATH:`python3.11 -m site --user-base`/bin"
in case of another python 3 version, adapt the version in the string
