iPython installed but not found

Reasons I didn't go with the above link as the solution:

• The main reason was, % python -m IPython, did respond, zsh thought it wasnt installed.
• I was using oh my zosh.
• The +5 answer by: Parth92, gave me pause for concern.

Answer 1

Install globally if you're a beginner, fewer chances for mistakes.

sudo pip3 install ipython3

Answer 2

Same thing here with Debian Buster, I put ~/.local/bin in my PATH and it works well. So, after installing ipython with pip install ipython command, add this line to your ~/.profile :

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

You might need to source your .profile first, I didn't.
