Why am I getting command not found even though path to command exists in PATH variable?
On Mac OSX 10.10.1 I get command not found for anything installed in /usr/local/bin (however command is found if I use sudo) PATH variable contains this path. for example pip. Here are some lines from terminal:
Dylans-MacBook-Air:edX Dylan$ echo $PATH/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
Dylans-MacBook-Air:edX Dylan$ ls /usr/local/bin
2to3 idle3.4 pydoc3 python3.4-32 rtmpdump tclsh8.5 wish8.5
2to3-3.4 pip pydoc3.4 python3.4-config rtmpgw tclsh8.6 wish8.6
easy_install pip2 python3 python3.4m rtmpsrv tclvfse youtube-dl

easy_install-3.4 pip3 python3-config pyvenv tclselect udemy-dl
idle3 pip3.4 python3.4 pyvenv-3.4 tclsh wish
Dylans-MacBook-Air:edX Dylan$ pip
-bash: pip: command not found
Dylans-MacBook-Air:edX Dylan$ which pip
Dylans-MacBook-Air:edX Dylan$ sudo which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip
Dylans-MacBook-Air:edX Dylan$
What could be causing this behaviour and how do I fix it?
The fix I ended up was removing all home brew Python and fixing up the system Python.
brew remove python
brew remove python3
brew cleanup
Check for the system pip and python (or absence of pip is OK too).
which python
which pip
which pip3
which python3
At this point, you need to easy_install a system based pip:
sudo easy_install --upgrade pip
pip --version
You should now have a pip that's based on /Library/Python (and pip 7.1.2 against python 2.7 for El Capitan in October 2015)
mac:~ me$ pip --version
pip 7.1.2 from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-7.1.2-py2.7.egg (python 2.7)
mac:~ me$ which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip
mac:~ me$ which python
/usr/bin/python
