==================================================
FIX Python not found in ZSH

Rus this

brew info python

Python has been installed as
/opt/homebrew/bin/python3

Unversioned symlinks `python`, `python-config`, `pip` etc. pointing to
`python3`, `python3-config`, `pip3` etc., respectively, have been installed into
/opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.11/libexec/bin

Open profile config

nano ~/.bash_profile

I use zsh and VS Code, so I ran this:

code ~/.zshrc

Add the following lines to the file:

export PATH=”/opt/homebrew/opt/python@3.11/libexec/bin:$PATH”

Now reload the shell profile by running the following command:

source ~/.bash_profile

For zsh, you could use this:

source ~/.zshrc
