nfldb-update: command not found

[weissleb]

Running on a Mac, and after quite a bit of Python installation fun, and ultimately success with python top-10-qb.py, attempting to run nfldb-update returns me nfldb-update: command not found.

Perhaps there's a path problem, but I'm not sure what it is. I had to install nfldb using pip2 install --user nfldb, and that appears to have been successful.

Please help me troubleshoot. Thanks!

I don't know exactly why this was a problem, but I resolved it by simply downloading the source code here and extracting out the scripts folder.

You probably want to install w/ pip anyways. Also this is not typically the type of question that you will find answered here. You will have better luck troubleshooting this type of issue on a forum like stack overflow.

Also it was certainly a path issue. Check out virtualenv for a straight forward solution to any path, or permissions issues.

I also use a mac. To update the database, After installing nfldb I needed to 1) copy config.ini.sample to ~/.config/nfldb/config.ini 2) manually add JAX as a team and 3) run "python2.7 nfldb-update"

Not sure if nfldb-update was installed on my mac, or if it was set executable or the path was set. but I just ranit as an input to pythonj.
