Hi everyone,
I have spent hours looking for the answer to this on the Internet, so I
apologize if this is a frequently asked question, because I wasn't able
to find it.

I installed Fabric without administrative rights on a Ubuntu 12.04
machine using easy_install (which is the only way available without
installing anything else without administrative rights..). The fabric
api works well, but I don't have access to the "fab" command line tool
and I can't find to what fab should link to so as to create an alias or
something like that. I assume there is somewhere an executable called
fab, but I can't find it.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Angel

Check to see if it is in your path.

Example:
"""
$ locate fab | grep 'fab$'
/usr/bin/fab
$ env | grep '^PATH'
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
$
"""

Hi, actually, as I installed it in my home directory, it is in
~/local/bin. Didn't think about that.
Thanks folks!
Maybe this should be in the documentation somewhere?

It's documented, but since it's not fabric specific, you need to look at
the docs for the tool that put it there. :)
