pylint no such file or directory

Question

I think I did not install pylint from the sources correctly. Which is a good occasion to learn how packages work in python.

I installed pylint from the sources, and I could see it in my pip list.

I wanted to uninstall it and install from pypi.

However, my 2 pips are empty, but when I use pylint --version

I got an error

bash: /usr/local/bin/pylint: no such file or directory

Is there a way to remove this bash command? Pylint is probably installed, but I do not know where, or how to remove it ?

Edit: as suggested in comments, I tried this link Find which version of package is installed with pip. Which gives me en empty answer aswell.

What i tried so far

which pylint

pip list | grep pylint

pip2 list | grep pylint

All those commands give me empty answer, but I still have the same error when using pylint

There is an answer for this already.. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10214827/find-which-version-of-package-is-installed-with-pip/21305641 — Dinesh Sakthivel, Mar 11 '19 at 10:30
@DineshSakthivel Thank you, I did not know this, but it still returns an empty response, however the command `pylint` clearly shows there is a pylint installed somewhere, probably not with pip — BlueSheepToken, Mar 11 '19 at 10:32
If you want to know where it's installed, you enter `which pylint`. — Dominique, Mar 11 '19 at 10:40
@Dominique, oh, you are right, this gives me also an empty answer — BlueSheepToken, Mar 11 '19 at 10:42

By doing whereis pylint, I saw that pylint was pointing to an anaconda file. I just uninstalled and reinstalled anaconda to make it work.
