pipenv: Cannot install module - /bin/pip: No such file or directory

Hello,

Trying to install a module fails with the following error: /bin/sh: /bin/pip: No such file or directory

I am using MacOS and have installed python and python3 using homebrew. Then installed pipenv using pip3.

which pip returns: /usr/local/bin/pip and pip itself is found as a command.

However, if I use python -m pip --version it points to the default MacOS python: pip 9.0.1 from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-9.0.1-py2.7.egg (python 2.7)

I am unaware where it tries to resolve pip from and does not find it. I am not sure if there is a problem with my $PATH paths or the issue is different.

Thank you for your time!

Seems the root cause was that pew was not working due to not set locale. Setting it in .bash_profile seems to resolve the issue.

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Will further test and later update if this is solved.

$ hash -r Reset your bash cache. It will solve the problem.
