'pip install kaggle' works fine - but 'kg command not found'

Question

I installed kaggle-cli just fine.. everything went smoothly or so pip says.

But when I try to run the kg command or just kg --version, I get

kg command not found

I can see Kaggle in Python system packages and all the py and pyc files are there. But like no bin directory or anything.

I tried to find a similar issue online with no success - so I thought I would try here.

I am on an Ubuntu app for Windows 10. Everything else in terms of Python, Keras, Theano, etc. for my machine learning rig works just fine.

The same problem for me. Kaggle is correctly installed with pip install kaggle --user, but "kaggle command was not found".

I located the Kaggle executable in ~/.local/bin/kaggle and solved it creating a symbolic link to /usr/bin:

ln -s ~/.local/bin/kaggle /usr/bin/kaggle
