Can't use pipenv after adding to $PATH

Question

I'm using a Linux box on which I don't have sudo privileges. I have python and pip installed. I've run pip3 install --user pipenv, and confirmed that ~/.local/bin/pipenv exists. I then added PATH=~/.local/bin/:${PATH} to my profile, and sourced it. echo $PATH shows that this worked. But then running pipenv still showed "command not found."

Did I miss a step? I should be able to do this, right?

Answer 1

In place of PATH=~/.blahblah I had written out ~ directly. And incorrectly. When I used my actual home directory it worked.
