Error: "bash: aab: command not found"

[Mikaio]

Problem description

*I just installed aab and when I try to run any command with aab it says "bash: aab: command not found". I tried both ways using pip install aab and pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/glutanimate/anki-addon-builder.git.

Checklist

• I've verified that I use the latest version of aab
• I've checked if anyone else reported this problem before by looking through the issue reports. I also checked to see if there is a section about known issues in the add-on description, documentation, or README.

Information about my set-up

*Ouput after running aab -h:

bash: aab: command not found

*My OS and environment:

• OS: EndeavorOS (Arch Linux based)
• Python version: 3.9.7
• Anki version: 2.1.48

Error message:

@Mikaio, it sounds like you may have overlooked the part of the docs that says:

aab needs to be run in an Anki development environment to work correctly. Please refer to Anki's documentation for information on how to set this up.

Here's the link to the relevant Anki docs: https://github.com/ankitects/anki/blob/main/docs/development.md

You'll want to make sure you understand how the PATH variable works and how that relates to Python virtual environments. You can find a great primer here if you need it: https://github.com/ankitects/anki/blob/main/docs/development.md
