Install Frappe Framework - bench: command not found

Question

I am new to python and Frappe framework. I followed the steps provided in the following link to install Frappe framework on my Mac OS Sierra.

Frappe Bench Github

After successfully installing Python, MariaDB, Node JS, Redis and wkhtmltopdf (with patched qt) I created new folder named "FrappeSample" and run the following commands in it:

git clone https://github.com/frappe/bench bench-repo

pip install --user -e bench-repo

Now when I try to run the following command to install frappe bench

bench init frappe-bench && cd frappe-bench

I get the error which says:

-bash: bench: command not found

Can anyone please guide me what I did wrong or is there any extra configuration needed which was not properly mentioned in the documentation ?

Answer 1

export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin

worked for me after following the The Hitchhiker's Guide to Installing Frappe on Linux. I started getting the error when I logged back several days after successful installation.
