Hey there, @RudRho! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have. Let's work together to solve this issue.

The error "/bin/bash: pqa: command not found" indicates that the pqa command is not recognized by your system. This typically happens if the pqa executable is not in your system's PATH.

Here is a step-by-step solution:

1. Verify Installation: Ensure that paper-qa is installed correctly.

   pip show paper-qa
   

2. Locate the pqa Executable: Find where pip has installed the pqa command.

   which pqa
   

3. Update PATH: If the pqa command is not found, you need to add the directory where pip installs executables to your PATH. This is typically ~/.local/bin for user installations or /usr/local/bin for system-wide installations.

   For example, if pqa is located in ~/.local/bin, you can add this to your PATH by adding the following line to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile:

   export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
   

4. Reload Shell Configuration: Apply the changes to your current shell session.

   source ~/.bashrc
   

After performing these steps, try running the pqa command again:

pqa ask 'How can carbon nanotubes be manufactured at a large scale?'

This should resolve the "/bin/bash: pqa: command not found" error ^[1][2].
