Pipenv: Command Not Found

People also ask

How do you activate Pipenv?

To activate the environment, just navigate to your project directory and use pipenv shell to launch a new shell session or use pipenv run <command> to run a command directly.

How do I know if Pipenv is installed?

To see installed packages with Pipenv, you can use the pipenv graph command. The output from this is perhaps more verbose than you'd like, but it does contain everything you need.

How do I add a path to Pipenv?

In the Settings/Preferences dialog ( Ctrl+Alt+S ), navigate to Tools | Python Integrated Tools, and type the target path in the Path ot Pipenv executable field. After the preparation steps are done, you can use pipenv to create a virtual environment for new or existing projects.


This fixed it for me:

sudo -H pip install -U pipenv

That happens because you are not installing it globally (system wide). For it to be available in your path you need to install it using sudo, like this:

$ sudo pip install pipenv

If you've done a user installation, you'll need to add the right folder to your PATH variable.

PYTHON_BIN_PATH="$(python3 -m site --user-base)/bin"
PATH="$PATH:$PYTHON_BIN_PATH"

See pipenv's installation instructions


I tried this:

python -m pipenv  # for python2

python3 -m pipenv # for python3

I have same problem with pipenv on Mac OS X 10.13 High Seirra, another Mac works just fine. I use Heroku to deploy my Django servers, some in 2.7 and some in 3.6. So, I need both 2.7 and 3.6. When HomeBrew install Python, it keeps python points to original 2.7, and python3 points to 3.6.

The problem might due to $ pip install pipenv. I checked /usr/local/bin and pipenv isn't there. So, I tried a full uninstall:

$ pip uninstall pipenv

Cannot uninstall requirement pipenv, not installed
You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 10.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

$ pip3 uninstall pipenv
Skipping pipenv as it is not installed.

Then reinstall and works now:

$ pip3 install pipenv
Collecting pipenv

Where Python store packages

Before jumping into the command that will install pipenv, it is worth understanding where pip installs Python packages.

Global site-packages is where Python installs packages that will be available to all users and all Python applications on the system. You can check the global site package with the command

python -m site

For example, on Linux with Python 3.7 the path is usually

/usr/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/setuptools

User site-packages is where Python installs packages available only for you. But the packages will still be visible to all Python projects that you create. You can get the path with

python -m site --user-base

On Linux with Python 3.7 the path is usually

~/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages

Using Python 3.x

On most Linux and other Unices, usually Python 2 and Python 3 is installed side-by-side. The default Python 3 executable is almost always python3. pip may be available as either of the following, depending on your Linux distribution

pip3
python3-pip
python36-pip
python3.6-pip

Linux

Avoid using pip with sudo! Yes, it's the most convenient way to install Python packages and the executable is available at /usr/local/bin/pipenv, but it also mean that specific package is always visible for all users, and all Python projects that you create. Instead, use per-user site packages instead with --user

pip3 install --user pipenv

pipenv is available at

~/.local/bin/pipenv

macOS

On macOS, Homebrew is the recommended way to install Python. You can easily upgrade Python, install multiple versions of Python and switch between versions using Homebrew.

If you are using Homebrew'ed Python, pip install --user is disabled. The global site-package is located at

/usr/local/lib/python3.y/site-packages

and you can safely install Python packages here. Python 3.y also searches for modules in:

 /Library/Python/3.y/site-packages
 ~/Library/Python/3.y/lib/python/site-packages

Windows

For legacy reasons, Python is installed in C:\Python37. The Python executable is usually named py.exe, and you can run pip with py -m pip.

Global site packages is installed in

C:\Python37\lib\site-packages

Since you don't usually share your Windows devices, it is also OK to install a package globally

py -m pip install pipenv

pipenv is now available at

C:\Python37\Scripts\pipenv.exe

I don't recommend install Python packages in Windows with --user, because the default user site-package directory is in your Windows roaming profile

C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages 

The roaming profile is used in Terminal Services (Remote Desktop, Citrix, etc) and when you log on / off in a corporate environment. Slow login, logoff and reboot in Windows can be caused by a large roaming profile.


OSX GUYS, OVER HERE!!!

As @charlax answered (for me the best one), you can use a more dynamic command to set PATH, buuut for mac users this could not work, sometimes your USER_BASE path got from site is wrong, so you need to find out where your python installation is.

$ which python3
/usr/local/bin/python3.6

you'll get a symlink, then you need to find the source's symlink.

$ ls -la /usr/local/bin/python3.6
  lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  71 Mar 14 17:56 /usr/local/bin/python3.6 -> ../../../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3.6

(this ../../../ means root)

So you found the python path (/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3.6), then you just need to put in you ~/.bashrc as follows:

export PATH="$PATH:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin"
