macOS - command not found: uvicorn

I bought a MAC and I use this system for the first time, I also recently started using python. I have a python project with a requirement.txt file which I opened with PyCharm which also contains a dependency on uvicorn. I installed all the dependencies, but when I try to run the command "uvicorn main: app" I get the error "command not found: uvicorn". I tried to look for guides on my problem and I read that it could concern the PATH variable and following what written in these guides I tried to add the PATH to python from my home directory. Now the content of my python PATH is the following:

/Library/Python/3.7/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

I also read that I should have added the following line to my ~/.profile file and that because my MAC is a new one I could not have it, so I created this file and write the line written below:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH

nothing has changed since my attempts so I am asking what I should do. I've also seen that pip3 installed my modules of the requirements.txt file on the following directory:

/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/

Thank you in advance for your help

It worked for me when I added the virtual env and ran it with python3 (Trying FastAPI)

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 main.py

You can use the "-m"

in this case:

python3 -m uvicorn main:app --reload --port 50000

If this works, you can find your sever at localhost:50000

I resolved setting a virtual environment in the project directory and installed the dependencies in it.
