"bash: pybot command not found" on Red Hat Enterprise Linux server

Question

I successfully installed the following on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system:

1) Python 2.7

2) Robot Framework

pip install robotframework

3) Selenium2Library pip install robotframework-selenium2library

But I get the command not found error,

pybot --version
bash: pybot: command not found

or

robot --version
bash: robot: command not found

I understood that the "pip" command does not install the packages into the systems directory. It rather installs them in /usr/local/bin/

You can fix the PATH variable on RHEL to make it work: update the PATH as follows:

export PATH=/usr/local/bin/:$PATH

Now the commands will work as expected:

pybot --version
Robot Framework 3.0.1 (Python 2.7.12 on linux2)

robot --version
Robot Framework 3.0.1 (Python 2.7.12 on linux2)
