Wagtail installation: Wagtail command not found

I am trying to install wagtail. As the docs suggest, I installed wagtail using pip:

tigran@tigran:~/projects/website$ pip install wagtail

But when I try to create a project I get the following error:

tigran@tigran:~/projects/website$ wagtail start website
wagtail: command not found

What is wrong here?

Another way to do this would be to use the -m venv command that comes built-in with Python 3.6 and above.

Check Python version

python --version

Create venv and install requirements

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Try running the wagtail command after the installation is complete.

I would guess @gasman's comment is correct. Running the getting started commands outside of a virtualenv does produce this issue for me too in Ubuntu 16.04.

You need to create and activate a virtualenv for it to work. Assuming you already have virtualenv installed:

mkdir myproject && cd myproject
virtualenv yourvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3
source yourvirtualenv/bin/activate
pip install wagtail
wagtail start website
