When you install programs with pip and use the --user flag, it installs them into ~/.local/bin, which isn't in your path by default. To add ~/.local/bin to your path automatically for the next time you reopen the terminal or source your shell configuration file, do the following:
First, discover what shell you are using:
```sh
echo $SHELL
```
Then apply the path to your shell file:
bash:
```sh
echo "PATH=\$PATH:~/.local/bin" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```
zsh:
```sh
echo "PATH=\$PATH:~/.local/bin" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
```
