pip installed in wrong location

  • 772

I went to install a bunch of stuff using pip (which I had not used in awhile) and I get a message telling me I should upgrade my version of pip. I tried a few things, and then came across this doc, which I followed with no problem.

But, when I tried to use pip, as in `pip show pyserial' I got an error: 

$ pip show pyserial
bash: /usr/bin/pip: No such file or directory

and I then discovered pip is not installed there...

$ which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip

any way to install in the correct place, or point the pip command to /usr/local/bin/pip?

python pip

  1. You should make sure the directory /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH variable. If it isn't, then add this line to your .bash_profile in your home directory:

    export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
