Error: Command Not Found: Fivetran

Issue

I've successfully installed the Fivetran Connector SDK using the pip install fivetran-connector-sdk command. However, the following error appears when I run the fivetran command:

command not found: fivetran

Environment

Fivetran Connector SDK

Resolution

To resolve this issue, do the following:

1. Use the which fivetran command to locate the fivetran executable and print its path.

2. Add the executable's path to your $PATH with the following command: export PATH=$PATH:<executable_path>

   Replace <executable_path> with the path you printed in step 1.

3. Verify that the $PATH variable has been updated:

   • Run the following command to print the $PATH variable: echo $PATH
   • Check whether the output contains the path to the fivetran executable.

Cause

This issue may occur when your Python packages directory path wasn't correctly added to the $PATH variable during Python installation.
