Installing from pip with --user puts d2lmf in a subdirectory of your home
directory. It's probably not in your PATH, so invoking d2lmf may be a little
annoying by default. Fortunately, that can be fixed by changing your PATH.
Unfortunately, how you go about changing your PATH depends on what operating
system you're running and how you have configured it.
The most recent Ubuntu releases come with this set up already, so you might
not have to do anything. Try running d2lmf extract --help to check. If it
worked, you can close these instructions right now. If the command was not
found, don't worry—we'll fix that.
If you have a ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login, add the command below to
the end of it. If you do not have either, then add the command to ~/.profile.
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"This will take effect on your next login. Until then, you'll have to run that command in each new shell you open.
If you have a ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login, add the command below to
the end of it. If you do not have either, then add the command to ~/.profile.
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/Library/Python/2.7/bin"This will take effect on your next login. Until then, you'll have to run that command in each new shell you open.
My experience with the PATH on Windows has been inconsistent. If you chose the
option to add Python to your PATH in the Python installer, you might already
be able to invoke d2lmf directly. If not, I would recommend just invoking d2lmf
as a python module, like python -m d2lmf extract --help.
