I am trying to install poetry the recommended way on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python -

When I do so, it says:

content.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python -



Command 'python' not found, did you mean:



  command 'python3' from deb python3

  command 'python' from deb python-is-python3



curl: (23) Failed writing body (485 != 1378)

Then I try python3

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python3 -

The installation succeeds.

Afterwards when calling poetry --version to test the installation, I get:

poetry: command not found

Although I added poetry to PATH manually, in .bash_profile:

PATH=$PATH:~/poetry/bin

I also tried adding poetry to path in .bashrc similarly to this answer:

export PATH="~/poetry/bin:$PATH"
