How to run python file in Terminal (Command Line) after installing it using pip?

Question

I'm a embedded system learner, and know little about Python. I'm using macOS. I installed stcgal using pip3 with pip3 install stcgal following its official guide .

I find it was installed at /Users/yimingliu/Library/Python/3.8/bin/stcgal . Every time I need to type this long address to access it when I want to run it, eg /Users/yimingliu/Library/Python/3.8/bin/stcgal -h . So, I wonder is there a shortcut for Python to run this file in Terminal?

Answer 1

尝试这样的事情：

python -m stcgal -h

Answer 2

您可以创建或编辑您的/Users/yimingliu/.zshrc文件（如果您的 macOS 早于 macOS Catalina 10.15，则该文件是/Users/yimingliu/.bash_profile ），并添加一行将 python bin 文件夹添加到您的小路：

export PATH=/Users/yimingliu/Library/Python/3.8/bin:$PATH
