[FIXED] Invoking pip packages from the CLI?

Issue

I installed a pip package (Spyder) on Debian using pip3 install spyder=5.0.5. However, running spyder from the command line interface says that it's not found. I hacked a solution by adding an alias in my .bashrc that points to some obscure start.py file that launches Spyder.

I'm sure there must be a more orthodox way of invoking Spyder, presumably by editing the $PATH, but I'm not sure how.

Solution

As @phd said in the comments, I had to edit my $PATH to point to directory where pip3 installs its packages. Namely, I had to run export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" and that fixed the problem.
