Error with pipx install eth-brownie (pipx : The term 'pipx' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet)

Question

I am a noob at this but have googled so much and tried what I can but cannot get it right. The error I get is:

pipx : The term 'pipx' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:1

• pipx install eth-brownie

•   + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (pipx:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Answer 1

pipx is a package installer. The command not found suggests that it is currently not installed in your system. You have to install it first.

For Windows/Linux (requires pip 19.0 or later):

python3 -m pip install --user pipx

python3 -m pipx ensurepath

Note: To install pip, see pip/installation

For macOS: brew install pipx

hey there I am also see that problem and I solved . firstly you may write pip uninstall eth-brownie in terminal then pip install eth-brownie and when downloading to the terminal, you will be given a script path indicated in yellow at the top of the article "Consider adding this directory to the PATH, or if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location" and copy and add it to the environment variables.
