Pip path? jinja2 was not found in your path!

Languages Python

So do use --user but not if you specified language: python

matrix:
  include:
    - os: linux
      dist: trusty
      sudo: required
      services:
      - docker

language: python
python:
    - "3.6"

before_install:
- pip install --user jinja2-cli

script:
  - which jinja2

results in:

pip install --user jinja2-cli
Can not perform a '--user' install. User site-packages are not visible in this virtualenv.
The command "pip install --user jinja2-cli" failed and exited with 1 during .

however if you use something else like node:

matrix:
  include:
    - os: linux
      dist: trusty
      sudo: required

language: node_js
node_js:
  - "8"

before_install:
- pip install --user jinja2-cli

script:
  - which jinja2

so use sudo only if you want to break your system python in this ephemeral system that is about to be deleted, don’t use --user with pip if your language is speciffied as python, but feel free elsewhere.

I’m glad this is perfectly clear :wink:
