Courses Plus Student 6,382 PointsCan't use coverage on Linux
I'm using Linux and I installed coverage by pip3 install coverage, but when I'm type "coverage run file.py" I got "coverage: command not found". Please tell me how to use it the right way... Also I can't do "coverage --version", it will says that command not found...

FIrst: (you have to upgrade your pip so it is the last and best version of it) like this:
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
Second: then you can use the "pip" command to install "coverage" like this:
pip install coverage
I hope that helps.

Often /usr/local/bin isn't in the default path, maybe coverage is in /usr/local/bin. In this case you have to modify your .bashrc to accomplish this.

Install it with this command.
python -m pip install coverage
