Pyenv-virtualenv: zsh: command not found: pyenv

[rghamilton3]

My .zshenv contains

export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME"/.pyenv
export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT"/bin:"$PATH"
if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then
  eval "$(pyenv init -)"
fi

which works fine, however, if I simply add
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"
I keep receiving the message
zsh: command not found: pyenv

Pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv work perfectly fine and if I enter exec "$SHELL" the message goes away until I restart the terminal so I'm sure what the issue is.

I'm running Arch Linux, Zsh 5.4.2-1, tmux 2.5-3, termite 12-2, and the master branch of both pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv pulled today.

It eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)" is showing errors like "zsh: command not found: pyenv", it indicates that pyenv-virtualenv-init was called before pyenv-init. Since pyenv-virtualenv is heavily depending on pyenv, it needs to be initialized after pyenv has initialized.

Pasting your full zsh configurations (regard to pyenv/pyenv-virtualenv) here could help further investigation.

I have same issue

if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then
  eval "$(pyenv init -)"
fi
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

entire contents of my .zshenv and copy pasting it to a loaded shell works as intented.

just ditching my .zshenv file and pasting its contents into .zshrc works as intended as well.

I'm using ohmyzsh if that makes any diff.

I have the same issue.
My ~/.zshenv file:

export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME"/.pyenv
export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT"/bin:"$PATH"
if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then
  eval "$(pyenv init -)"
fi
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

My guess is that pyenv is being installed in a location that zsh doesn't use by default (like /usr/local/bin). You probably have a line at the top of your .zshrc that looks like export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH. Moving that line to the top of your .zshenv might fix the problem for you.

Works for me, thanks :smile:

Some update ?

[sean-smith]

I had this issue, after following https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-installer

I changed my ~/.zshrc from:

export PATH="~/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

To

export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

[beizhengren]

export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

nice

Cool, tk you verry much

The above fix didn't work for me though. I used the following block in ~/.zshrc instead:

if command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then
  eval "$(pyenv init -)"
  eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"
