Its a pretty trivial question i hope , but unfortunately i am in need of help …

I cannot do package install or pip/brew/npm in my environment , i am trying to use the tar ball obtained from [https://archlinux.pkgs.org/rolling/archlinux-community-x86\_64/asciinema-2.0.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz.html](https://archlinux.pkgs.org/rolling/archlinux-community-x86_64/asciinema-2.0.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz.html) location.

Currently running into issue module “asciinema” not found - i have tried updating the PYTHONPATH and it did not help.

Please help , i am a python novice too.

If you can’t use any package manager than you can download the latest release from here: [https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/releases/tag/v2.0.0](https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/releases/tag/v2.0.0)

Pick either zip or tar.gz, download and extract it. For example:

```auto
mkdir -p /target/directory
tar xzf asciinema-2.0.0.tar.gz -C /target/directory

```

Then you can create a wrapper script with the following contents:

```auto
#!/usr/bin/env bash

PYTHONPATH=/target/directory/asciinema-2.0.0 python3 -m asciinema "$@"

```

Save the above script as `asciinema` and put it in your `$PATH`.

I hope this helps.

It surprises me how you are not tempted to quickly and easily promote the use of your thing by creating casts to support the explanations you give
