Where are the binaries added when installing via pip3?

Hi! The command vfit was not found and, in turn, I could not find the path I should add to $PATH via my .zshrc file.

It will depend on your system. You should uninstall and re-install VFIT, paying attention to the install log for a statement like this:

WARNING: The script vfit is installed in '/Users/jp/Library/Python/3.8/bin' which is not on PATH.
  Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.

If you see something like the above, you'll need to modify your path.

If you want to know where exactly VFIT is installed, you can use pip3 show -f vfit to list all of VFIT's files.

Thank you, @jonpalmisc. I reinstalled it using pip install with the verbose option. I had to add to PATH the path ~/.local/bin (which surprisingly I had not yet added). After that, I could run vfit and generate static fonts.

Off topic: could you point me to some resource to understand the override options used in the .json file?

Take a look at the sample configuration here, it demonstrates most/all of the options: https://github.com/jonpalmisc/vfit/blob/e587b71201d0c636034768ffef691ed268a2996f/sample.json

Going to close this as it seems the main issue was resolved.
