No such file or directory: '/usr/local/bin/pip'

Question

I had pip installed earlier on my OSX, but its not working somehow. So, i was trying to install pip again, using the command :

sudo easy_install pip

But it gives me the error as below :

pip 9.0.1 is already the active version in easy-install.pth
Installing pip script to /usr/local/bin
error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/bin/pip'

I am neither able to use pip, nor install it.

Have you tried this http://cheng.logdown.com/posts/2015/06/14/-usr-bin-pip-no-such-file-or-directory — Vaibhav Desai, Dec 22 '16 at 04:27
Yes, I did check http://cheng.logdown.com/posts/2015/06/14/-usr-bin-pip-no-such-file-or-directory but when I try and check `which pip`, i dont get any response, so I think pip is not there somehow on my system. And i am unable to install it as well. — Sarang Manjrekar, Dec 22 '16 at 04:53

Just run:
$ hash -r
in bash and it will be solved.

There's no man page for this command, but it does work in some cases -- it updates the bash path hash, which sometimes gets stale under pyenv. https://www.computerhope.com/unix/bash/hash.htm – Autumn Jul 23 '21 at 23:07
