@wkentaro of course i do, why?

[wkentaro]

I don't think this is really a Gdown's issue. As long as you install properly, at least command should be available in your PATH. Please discuss further as Q&A.

@wkentaro I am running through the same issue. Any fixes ?

I encountered same issues.

$ pip install gdown

$ gdown 
#Command 'gdown' not found, did you mean: 

This message show that I have sucessfully installed gdown, but when i try to use it, the system indicates that the command cannot be found.
This could be because the .local/bin directory has not been added to my PATH environment variable.
So, I do the following steps:

export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
source ~/.bashrc

# If you are using zsh
# source ~/.zshrc

Now, it works.
I hope this helps you.
