Scrapy: Error when running 'scrapy' in command line

[rosspalmer]

Hello!

I have trying installing scrapy using both the 'pip' method and installing directly from the source code and keep running into the same error.

When I attempt to run any 'scrapy' based command in the terminal I receive the following output:

bash: /usr/bin/scrapy: No such file or directory

This error is very much correct as all python packages on my machine would be stored in the directory below and I have confirmed that the scrapy modules are indeed present.

/usr/local/bin/

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

do you mean /usr/local/bin/scrapy exists after installing with pip?

If so, add /usr/local/bin to PATH environment variable or create symlink from /usr/bin/ like:

ln -s /usr/local/bin/scrapy /usr/bin/
