Ipython: Starting IPython3 on the terminal

Created on 2 Jul 2012  路  2Comments  路  Source: ipython/ipython

I installed the latest version of IPython (0.13) on Mac OS 10.6.8 using the following code:
python3 setup.py build
python3 setup.py install

Everything seems to have installed properly and the command import IPython seems to work in IDLE, but when I type ipython3 in the terminal I get the error message bash: ipython3: command not found.

I can, however, start ipython3 by clicking the icon is the /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/bin. Why does this work but the command line not?

Make sure /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/bin is on your PATH, which it probably is not:

export PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/bin:$PATH

Closing since this isn't really a bug in ipython, but user config issue.
