title: wget is not recognized as a command even though it is installed
body: <p>I know I am doing something really stupid here but I have tried the things I can think of. </p>
  
  <p>Here is the relevant portion of my session: </p>
  
  <pre><code>$ wget http://pjmedia.com/instapundit/
  -bash: wget: command not found
  $ cd ..
  $ pip install wget
  Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): wget in
      ./anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages
  $ 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have restarted my computer and that does not help. I am using Mac OX X with the El Capitan system installed. Does this have something to do with the PATH variable? I found something on the internet that seemed similar to my problem with another program on the Windows system, but I have found nothing for the Mac OS. I tried installing it from my root directory but the system won't let pip install it because it is already installed. Can anyone point me in the right direction? </p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I would like to thank Max, Bill and kenorb. I have learned more here for free in 10 minutes than I have in a week at some commercial sites. Is there some way to mark my question as answered so that people don't have to keep wasting their time reading my question?</p>
