I'm trying to install nose on my computer for the Learn Python the Hard Way tutorial, but can't seem to get it to work. I'm using pip to install:

$ pip install nose

And I get back: 

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): nose in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Cleaning up...

However, when I run the command nosetests, I get:

-bash: nosetests: command not found

I'm thinking there's something wrong with my PATH, but honestly I have no idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  2. Then use: nose2 instead of nosetests to test program

Good Luck...!
