uWSGI command not found

Question

Background:

I am in the process of deploying a Django site and from my understanding and research, I needed to get a web server, a WSGI protocol interface to actually run said python code and 'communicate' with it, and lastly a reverse proxy server to tie the two together and pass HTTP requests through the pipeline to Django. (By virtue of my install method, mod_wsgi is not an option thanks to EasyApache4 and cPanel so I cannot use the mod_wsgi sockets method)

My problem:

I have organized an apache 2 hosting server and managed to install mod_proxy and mod_proxy_uWSGI using the EasyApache4 auto installer. From what I understand, now I need to set up the proxy system to relay HTTP requests through mod_proxy_uWSGI which doubles up and also runs my Django site, however, I cannot access or configure mod_proxy_uWSGI. When I try using the following style command (sorry, I don't want my server URLs floating around the internet):

 uwsgi --http :8000 --wsgi-file test.py

I get an error message:

bash: uwsgi: command not found

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

Thanks to a comment by [@dirkgroten]. To install UWSGI : pip install uwsgi

Answer 2

After running pip install uwsgi, it's possible that uwsgi was installed someplace not on your PATH. IE, in my case, it got installed to:

/usr/local/opt/python-3.8.6/bin/uwsgi

I was able to fix this by adding a symlink:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/opt/python-3.8.6/bin/uwsgi /usr/bin/uwsgi

(This may be a terrible idea. It may be a much better idea to use a venv, but I'm following a tutorial that specifically told me to avoid using a venv.)
