[BUG] meshio not found after install
JamesCreasyBT opened this issue · comments
The bug is meshio is not accessible as described after install.
$ pip install meshio
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Requirement already satisfied: meshio in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (1.11.7)
I try:
$ meshio --version
meshio: command not found
To Reproduce
Ubuntu 18.04. Python 3.9 is installed but not aliased to python3 as that breaks my terminal.
Install meshio using
$ pip install meshio
now try running a command:
$ meshio --version
Note that the response is:
meshio: command not found
Where I instead expected meshio to return its version, or at least return an error about bad arguments. Instead, the system seems not to be able to find meshio:
$ which meshio
$
$ locate meshio
$
Diagnose
I may ask you to cut and paste the output of the following command.
pip freeze | grep meshio
$ pip freeze | grep meshio
meshio==1.11.7
Did I help?
Not yet.
If I was able to resolve your problem, consider sponsoring my work on meshio, or buy me a coffee to say thanks.
I will!
There are many possible issues, which are coupled:
- Your meshio version is (now) more than six years old
- You did not use
pip3
orpython3.9 -m pip
to install the package, - Old
pip(3)
version - Depending on your Ubuntu setup, it could be that the location of the python3 binaries is not in your system
PATH
