Describe the problem

~/.local/bin might not be in $PATH

Provide the exact sequence of commands / steps that you executed before running into the problem

use the installer script and don't set your $PATH to have ~/.local/bin in it

Additional information

OS: any i guess

get the value of $PATH, then $SHELL and then depending on whether $SHELL is bash/zsh/fizsh/ksh/tcsh/csh/ash/fish/your favourite obscure shell add PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin to .bashrc, .zshrc, .fizsh/.fizshrc etc. Or to .profile.
Actually should we use .profile or .(shell)rc for that?

Solving this sounds good to me!

shellrc is where that should be made but I don't think its a good idea to change it for the user as thats a personal config choice. Think the best action would be a massive warning if its not in $PATH and advise on adding it to shellrc or where ever is decided.

Yep this seems like the move.
