I am on a new device and want to give beancount another try to keep this years finances in order. I am on a m1 air.

yesterday I installed beancount v2 from docs and did a quick check with 'bean-check' returning no error – fine.

today I get 'bean-check: command not found', so the installation doesn't seem to be permanent.

error message:

any ideas? thanks

The provided information is not really enough to help you. I don't see what is the relation between the "command not found" shell error and the pip warning message below.

However, this seems a general problem of installing Python packages on macOS, apparently with the stock Python provided by the OS. It is unlikely to be an issue related to the architecture, more probably it is related to the OS version. Asking for guidance on a Python users support channel may be more appropriate.

I don't have any device running macOS 11, thus providing detailed guidance is very difficult. However, if someone wants to send a M1 machine this direction, I would be more than happy to help sort out any issue related to running Beancount on one such machine :)

Cheers,
Dan
