I have recently reinstalled python3 on my Ubuntu Xenial Gnome system using apt. I also installed python3-pip. However, now pip3 no longer works. Attempting to run pip3 gives a strange error: bash: /home/sirnapkin1334/.local/bin/pip3: No such file or directory
I find this strange, as python3 -m pip works fine, but not pip3, which also gives an atypical error message. locate pip3 gives no output and which pip3 gives the path /usr/bin/pip3. If you run that path, pip3 works fine, but I don't know why the pip3 command points to a nonexistant directory. Does anyone know how to update this pip3 command to point to the correct location?

1Fix your PATH. See superuser.com/questions/284342/…– DavidPostill ♦Commented Dec 15, 2019 at 7:04

Well, I set it with export, but now I have to use $pip3– MoiréCommented Dec 15, 2019 at 18:03

1Then you haven't exported it correctly.– DavidPostill ♦Commented Dec 15, 2019 at 18:08

It appears that uninstalling pip via itself and reinstalling via apt-get fixed the issue, though I am not fully sure why. Can I 'close' the question?– MoiréCommented Dec 15, 2019 at 18:34
