command not found: howdy

[colawithsauce]

My distribution: ubuntu 22.02.2 LTS

I install it by following the introduction of README.md: adds ppa source and install it. (but when installing the three data pack, I download then manually instead.)

I have tried to list files of howdy, and also didn't find a excutable file

➜  ~ dpkg  -L howdy

So what the problem with my installation?

[Ozy-Viking]

The executable howdy is a link to the python file located in /lib/security/howdy/cli.py

$ where howdy
/usr/local/bin/howdy

$ ls -lah /usr/local/bin/howdy
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   26 Nov 13 09:40 howdy -> /lib/security/howdy/cli.py*

Try running the ln command to create that link.

sudo ln /lib/security/howdy/cli.py /usr/local/bin/howdy

I have also same problem, just create a symlink, your suggestion @Ozy-Viking is the way but for me do not work without use the -s option
sudo ln -s /lib/security/howdy/cli.py /usr/local/bin/howdy

Thanks for the tips!
