Error installing pydoop with pip on Ubuntu 18.04

Question

I am trying to install pydoop with pip on my Ubuntu 18.04 and keep getting an error "Failed building wheel for pydoop".

pip install pydoop

/bin/sh: 1: hadoop: not found

It seems as though it is not recognizing the hadoop command, however, whenever I use this in the command line there is no problem. I included the path to hadoop in the.bashrc file.

As suggested in the comments, sh is not going to use .bashrc . Try adding the Hadoop binaries to your PATH, eg, export PATH="${hadoop_home}/bin:${hadoop_home}/sbin:${PATH}"
