Answer 1

Try to add the actual directory to the PATH

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/Users/ishandutta2007/Downloads/browsermob-proxy-2.1.4/bin' >> ~/.bashrc

This way you don't have to specify the path arg on the Server instance manually

from browsermobproxy import Server
dict = {'port': 8090}
server = Server(options=dict)
