Scrapy installation on OSX Lion
osx-lion, python, scrapy
Solution
Well turns out it's likely a path issue.
On my Mac, I used `easy_install` from `/usr/bin`.
sudo /usr/bin/easy_install scrapy
The resulting `scrapy` command is then installed into `/usr/local/bin/scrapy`.
You might not have that directory in your path, so see if that's true with:
echo $PATH
If it isn't in there, you can temporarily add it like `export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH`, or modify your `~/.bash_profile` to add it permanently.
Alternatively, I typically don't use the system installed Python in Mac - I install homebrew and install a separate version of Python, and install `scrapy` with that version (`scrapy` is then installed into `/usr/local/share/python/scrapy`).
Problem
So I'm trying to install Scrapy on Lion and am not sure if it's properly installed or not. I followed the guide here http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/intro/install.html#intro-install Then tried to do the first step to create a tutorial project here, http://doc.scrapy.org/en/latest/intro/tutorial.html But when I try to run, ``` scrapy startproject tutorial ``` It doesn't work. I get... $ python scrapy /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'scrapy': [Errno 2] No such file or directory Any idea why I get such an error?
