Prefect Community

hey y’all can you let me know if i’m missing something? i’m building a docker image based on the prefect image
```FROM prefecthq/prefect:latest-python3.9```
but when i start up my container and try to use the prefect cli, it says prefect isn’t installed
```$ prefect
/bin/sh: 5: prefect: not found```


Man…that…is very weird. Let me try this

So I cannot replicate this when I do: `docker run -it prefecthq/prefect:latest-python3.9 bash`. And then try `prefect`. Does this also not work for you?

you need to add Prefect to your Python PATH - try this on Linux:
```PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
export PATH```

thanks! i realized there was an error in my docker commands and i wasn’t starting the container that i was building with prefect :woman-facepalming: sorry about that
