Additional info

I see that pip installs packages in the ./.local/. Does ./.local/ contain bin folder? If yes, is this folder added to $PATH?

[Pilleo]

./.local/ does contain bin folder. But i do not understand how to check or modify $PATH .
Tried this:
PATH=$PATH:/.local/bin export PATH
It is working now! Thank you!

[ivankravets]

@Pilleo Looks like Ubuntu 16 has significantly changes.

Don't forget to add to your bash profile because after restart you will need again to set $PATH

[ivankravets]

See http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/26047/how-to-correctly-add-a-path-to-path

[Pilleo]

Well, now it does not work at all. I was trying to modify .profile, and did not work. I restored it, and tried
again PATH=$PATH:/.local/bin export PATH, but this time it does not work also...

[dmytrokyrychuk]

Are you sure about PATH=$PATH:/.local/bin part? Shouldn't there be another dot between : and /.?

[dmytrokyrychuk]

@Pilleo, be aware that ./.local/bin is a relative path and it will only work while you are in home directory. I advise you to change the line to this: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin.

[Pilleo]

It think it is ok now, finally!)
added export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin to .profile
Thank you very much!
