Why is there no command for gunicorn

I ran this:

pip3 install gunicorn

Then I tried to run gunicorn, but I was told there was no such command. If I do this:

ls -al /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/gunicorn/

I see this:

.
..
app
arbiter.py
argparse_compat.py
_compat.py
config.py
debug.py
errors.py
glogging.py
http
__init__.py
instrument
pidfile.py
__pycache__
reloader.py
selectors.py
six.py
sock.py
systemd.py
util.py
workers

I was thinking I could create a symbolic link and store it here:

/usr/local/bin/

But what would I link? It seems as if there is no actual gunicorn command?

If I look here:

https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn

There is no file called "gunicorn". Likewise if I look here:

https://github.com/benoitc/gunicorn/gunicorn

As near as I can see, there is no file called "gunicorn". So how are we suppose to call this from the command line?

In case anyone reaches this page, and has not yet found an answer (it happened with me), please check to make sure you have exported both

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin

and 

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages

to your PATH variable.

I am working with MacOS 10.14.6 and Python 3.6.5, so apt-get was not really an option for me.

There are two ways to solve this problem:-> just add the path of gunicorn location or find the path and execute with the path.

If you're working with virtualenv then:- don't install the gunicorn for root just use the pip install gunicorn. if you already installed the gunicorn for root then just remove it by sudo apt remove gunicorn

you're in your virtualenv then just chek the location of the gunicorn by:-

pip show gunicorn This will give you the details including the path of gunicorn. something like this:-

/home/user/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages.

now either you can add this path or just execute it as:-

~/.local/bin/gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:8000 <projectname>.wsgi

If you have apt (or apt-get):

$ sudo apt install gunicorn3

$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gunicorn3 /usr/bin/gunicorn

You may want to remove the old gunicorn package first:

$ sudo apt remove gunicorn

Check where gunicorn3 has been installed (just in case):

$ whereis gunicorn3

If you are using virtualenv then gunicorn is created in

/path_to_your_env/bin/gunicorn

So whenever you try to use gunicorn you need to load the virtualenv first and then gunicorn command would execute.
