mssql-cli not found

[mauro-miatello]

I've tried to install mssql-cli on ubuntu 20.04 using php or apt, both don't work the first method says "/usr/local/bin/mssql-cli: line 16: python: command not found" the second one don't find mssql-cli package to install

Running into the same issue!

You'll have to edit the file ~/.local/bin/mssql-cli and replace python -m mssqlcli.main "$@" With this line ( command -v python3 && python3 -m mssqlcli.main "$@" ) || python -m mssqlcli.main "$@"

@SalemNabeelSalem when I edit that line, I still get an error but just later:

Hi all -- as mentioned in another thread, a workaround for this issue is installing Python 3.9.7 or 3.9.9. I was able to get this working in a virtualenv after encountering the same error mentioned here.
