How do I use this command in sudo

[angadschawla]

Hello,

I installed this package using pip3 in sudo so that it installed for root user. I then use the command with sudo and get that the command is not found. How do I do this correctly?

Thanks!

Do you mean with sudo? Like "sudo rsyncy -a ..."?

@RemiZlatinis That is right! I did figure out a workaround by just directly pointing to the Python file for execution in script. Not sure if you know of a better method...

In my system, I install it regularly as a normal user. ('pip install rsyncy') And it works just fine with the sudo prefix, both in terminal and scripts. The command not found for python modules was probably caused by an invalid installation. And that usually happens if you install with pip running as root. In general, is bad practice to install packages with sudo. And I suggest you use environments.
