I want to make the Python fastapi work with MSYS2.
I work from the MSYS2 MinGW x64 shell. I have the following installed using the commands:
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python-pip
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-python-fastapi
and I also ran
pip install fastapi
which gave the output
imelf@FLORI-LENOVO-93 MINGW64 /c/Users/imelf/Documents/NachhilfeInfoUni/Kadala/Pybind11
$ pip install fastapi

Now I have this file test.py with the following content:
from fastapi import FastAPI
meine_coole_rest_api = FastAPI()
@meine_coole_rest_api.get("/")
async def wurzel_pfad():
return {"coole_nachricht" : "Fast API works"}
Trying to launch it with as described in this tutorial
fastapi dev test.py
gives the error message
imelf@FLORI-LENOVO-93 MINGW64 /c/Users/imelf/Documents/NachhilfeInfoUni/Kadala/Pybind11
$ fastapi dev test.py
bash: fastapi: command not found
Why does he not recognize the command? How do I install fastapi correctly?
fastapi doesn't ship with the CLI anymore by default, you can install it using pip install fastapi-cli
