Command not found error for deepspeech if installed with user flag

Question

I installed deepspeech in ubuntu 16.04 using

pip install deepspeech --user

but when I use deepspeech deepspeech -h on cli it says command not found.

I have tried both pip and pip3 for installation, also tried restarting but it still says command not found.

I used pip3 install deepspeech on my WSL Linux 20.04 and it was installing deepspeech in my home/user/.local/bin directory.

Instead try using sudo pip3 install deepspeech. This fixes the problem.

Installing with pip --user flag, installs the package in the user directory rather than the root directory. Ex: /Users/.../Library/Python/2.7/bin

Run: export PATH=$PATH:/Users/.../Library/Python/2.7/bin

and add the above command to your ~/.bash_profile
