Describe the bug
installed instaloader 4.2.09 ran fine for a few weeks. Began having issue #433 replaced ...instaloadercontext.py. Worked for a run until I realized that I forgot some flags/variables. ran again and got instaloader: command not found searched my shell history for las known working call with variables and again instaloader: command not found

$ pip3 uninstall instaloader
$pip3 install instaloader

saw that I had instaloader 4.2.09 and 4.2.10, deleted those folders, reran pip3 un/install instaloader, still have instaloader: command not found

To Reproduce
$ instaloader +/path/to/args.txt instaloader: command not found

Expected behavior
instaloader downloads jpg/mp4 of specified profiles
Error messages and tracebacks

Hi. Maybe ~/.local/bin is not part of your $PATH environment variable. That's the location where pip installs a script to run Instaloader. If it's missing, add a line like

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

to your ~/.bashrc file.
