The "zsh: command not found: python" error message in the zsh shell indicates that the Python interpreter is not installed or cannot be found in your system's search path. This error message usually occurs when you try to run a Python script or launch the Python interpreter from the zsh shell, but the shell cannot find the Python executable.
To fix this error, you need to ensure that Python is installed on your system and that the Python executable is included in your system's search path.
First, check if Python is installed on your system by running the following command:
python --version
If Python is installed, this command will display the version number of the Python interpreter. If Python is not installed, you will see a "command not found" error message.
If Python is installed but you are still getting the "zsh: command not found: python" error message, you may need to add the directory containing the Python executable to your system's search path. This can be done by adding the following line to your shell configuration file (e.g., ~/.zshrc
):
export PATH="/path/to/python/bin:$PATH"
Replace "/path/to/python/bin" with the actual path to the directory containing the Python executable on your system. After adding this line to your shell configuration file, save the file and restart your zsh shell. This should allow you to run the Python interpreter and scripts from the zsh shell without encountering the "zsh: command not found: python" error message.
