ldap2pg command not found

Basically after following this https://ldap2pg.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install/#pure-python installation process, when I run ldap2pg --version or any other ldap2pg command I get command not found.

I am installing it inside a vagrant vm. I am running a dockerized active directory and postgresql db in a vagrant vm.

Not sure if it helps but here is the vagrantfile:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
    # Install docker-compose plugin
    config.vagrant.plugins = [
        "vagrant-docker-compose",
        "vagrant-vbguest"
    ]

    # Vm box basic configuration
    config.vm.box = "ubuntu/bionic64"
    # Geoserver
    config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8093, host: 8093
    # Posgis db
    config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 65433, host: 65433
    # Test active directory
    config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 11389, host: 11389

    # Provisioning the vm
    config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
        vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--natdnshostresolver1", "on"]
        vb.gui = false
        vb.cpus = 2
        vb.memory = 4096
    end
    config.vm.provision :docker
    config.vm.provision :docker_compose, compose_version: "1.24.1"

    # Active directory
    config.vm.provision :shell,
        keep_color: true,
        privileged: false,
        run: "always",
        inline: <<-SCRIPT
            cd /vagrant/ldap/
            docker-compose up -d
        SCRIPT
    # Geoserver and posgis db
    config.vm.provision :shell,
        keep_color: true,
        privileged: false,
        run: "always",
        inline: <<-SCRIPT
            cd /vagrant/gis_droplet/
            docker-compose up -d
        SCRIPT
end

Hi,

Yes, the doc may be subtle, but the prompt is a # instead of $, which mean root shell.

The best option is to use sudo -i to have a clean root environment.

$ sudo -i pip3 install ldap2pg psycopg2-binary

Some people are used to sudo su for that prupose, but -i is enough.

If you want to install as user rather than root, use pip install --user without sudo, and ensure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH.

I think this issue is all about sudo and pip, not ldap2pg, thus I won’t update the installation doc. Would you ?

Thanks for sharing your solution.

Got it working!!! For some reason, I had to install it as sudo and add the -H tag. $/ sudo -H pip3 install ldap2pg and after that: $/ sudo pip3 install psycopg2-binary

Thanks!!!

I guess this can be closed.
