What is the default install path for poetry

Question

I installed poetry, however I'm getting the following error when attempting to call poetry

zsh: command not found: poetry 

I know I have it installed because I get the following output when trying to run the following install script

$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python                                                                             
Retrieving Poetry metadata                                                                                                                                                                    

Latest version already installed.

Overthrow

Answer 1

The default install location is ~/.poetry/bin/poetry

I added the following to my .zshrc

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Overthrow

when I installed it with the cURL call it didn't install it there. If I do cd $HOME & ls -a there is no .poetry file :'(. When I do a grep for poetry there are a ton of results at ./Library/Application Support/pypoetry. Any idea why that is or how to fix it? Thanks! – Biparty

i would inspect the file that is executed by the curl command, there's likely a clue as to where it was placed – Overthrow

The new location is ~/.local/bin/poetry, so it should be export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" – October

Answer 2

Initially I wanted to run poetry within a condo environment. After running

pip install poetry

I saw it was installed using my local Python and not linked to a conda environment. In my case I added

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

to the end of the .zshrc file under my home directory.

Answer 3

Update for the new version of the official poetry installer:

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

This version will install in your default python3 bin. For example: $HOME/Library/Python/3.9/bin, the installer will print out the location to your shell.

Add

export PATH=$HOME/Library/Python/3.9/bin:$PATH

to ~/.profile or ~/.zprofile.

Answer 4

When I faced a situation in which other methods were not working, I just used pip uninstall poetry and pip install poetry to reinstall it and it worked
