Got it! Here’s a clean, step-by-step way to install your scripts so they work globally on Ubuntu using pipx (safe and isolated):

---

1️⃣ Ensure pipx is installed

sudo apt install pipx
pipx ensurepath

Close and reopen your terminal, or run source ~/.bashrc to update PATH.

---

2️⃣ Remove old pipx installs (optional, to avoid conflicts)

pipx uninstall script

This clears any previous installations of your project.

---

3️⃣ Install your project via pipx

Go to your project folder:

cd ~/atari-monk/atari-monk/project/script
pipx install .

This creates an isolated environment and installs all [project.scripts] (myinfo, log, fstree, etc.) into ~/.local/bin.

---

4️⃣ Make sure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH

Check:

echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n' | grep '.local/bin'

• If nothing shows, add this line to ~/.bashrc:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Then reload:

source ~/.bashrc

---

5️⃣ Test your scripts

myinfo
log
fstree

They should now work from any terminal, both VS Code and normal Ubuntu terminal.

---

✅ Optional tip: If you have conflicts with system commands (like zip), consider renaming your script in pyproject.toml so pipx doesn’t clash.

cd ~/atari-monk/atari-monk/project/script
pipx install --force .

Dependencies

Dependencies must be stated in toml, for example

dependencies = [
    "pyperclip"
]

and reinstall

---

If you want, I can also write a one-liner that does steps 2–4 automatically, cleaning old installs and making all scripts globally available.

Do you want me to do that?
