There's a lot of questions around this, so it might be a duplicate, but I can't find a solution, so here goes..
I want to use pylint with atom. If I use the recommended pip install --user pylint
it seems to work but atom can't find and neither can I; which pylint
and whereis pylint
return nothing. The same thing goes if I use pip3
.
If I go against wisdom and use sudo pip install pylint
it is found but now I get a different error with atom: unable to determine environment
.
Any suggestions?
If which pylint
does not find the executable but the package is installed, it is not in your PATH
. Uninstall pylint
you have installed with sudo
and reinstall it as user, now run
$ PATH=$HOME/Library/Python/2.7/bin:$PATH which pylint
It should be found now. After you have verified pylint
executable is accessible, edit your .bash_profile
and add the two lines at the bottom:
PATH="${HOME}/Library/Python/2.7/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH
