Here's how to fix the Command 'adk' not found error:
1. Ensure the ADK is installed
If you installed it in a virtual environment, activate the environment and then reinstall:
pip install -U adk
To install it globally (not recommended for dev work):
pip install --user -U adk
---
2. Check that the adk command is in your PATH
Even if adk is installed, your shell may not know where it is. Try running:
python3 -m adk --help
If that works, it confirms that ADK is installed, but the CLI script isn’t linked in your PATH.
To find where it is:
pip show adk
Look at the "Location" field, then look for the bin folder inside it — that’s where adk should be. For example:
Location: /home/yourname/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages
Then check:
ls /home/yourname/.local/bin
If adk is in there, add it to your PATH:
export PATH=$PATH:/home/yourname/.local/bin
To make this change permanent, add that line to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc.

3. Try again
After setting the PATH:
adk --help
adk web
