      I just upgraded a system to 2.6.0 and wanted to install speedtest-cli

      It is not in the package manager, so I did from the comment line:

      pkg search speedtest
      py38-speedtest-cli-2.1.3       Command line interface for testing internet bandwidth
      pkg install py38-speedtest-cli-2.1.3
      

      This installed successfully, however doing speedtest-cli gives me command not found

      speedtest-cli: Command not found
      

      I've tried speedtest-cli, speedtest, gogo gadget speedtest and nothing works
      Am I typing this wrong?

        Are you on the CLI via SSH or console?

          Yes, from ssh, I choose 8 for the command line and do most of my stuff from there. Package manager does not have any speedtest packages

            @gstlouis so I just fired up a 2.6 vm just this morning for another thing..

            My guess is you forget to use the rehash command, or didn't log out and back in

                yup, that was it. I haven't installled a router in a while with pfsense and I guess I completely forgot about the need to rehash?

                But I installed screen and vim no problem. Some packages need a rehash and some do not?

                Thank you all for your comments
