cget not found after pip installation

Question

I install cget on my Ubutun 18.04 machine following this guide with:

pip install cget

The terminal shows:

Collecting cget
Collecting six>=1.10 (from cget)

Installing collected packages: six, subprocess32, click, cget
Successfully installed cget-0.1.6 click-6.6 six-1.11.0 subprocess32-3.5.2

Afterwards, I run:

cget install curl

It complains:

Command 'cget' not found, did you mean:

  command 'mget' from snap mget (0.1.2)
  command 'cset' from deb cpuset
  command 'cgpt' from deb cgpt
  command 'cfget' from deb cfget
  command 'wget' from deb wget
  command 'kget' from deb kget
  command 'pget' from deb pbuilder-scripts
  command 'dget' from deb devscripts
  command 'cgget' from deb cgroup-tools
  command 'cgset' from deb cgroup-tools
  command 'bget' from deb ax25-tools
  command 'cjet' from deb printer-driver-cjet

See 'snap info <snapname>' for additional versions.

What exactly happened? I am at a loss here. Please help.

Answer 1

List the installed files with

pip show --files cget

Find out in what directory pip installed script cget and add it to your $PATH .
