> ## Agent Instructions
> bakefile is a Python task runner with two CLIs: bake runs tasks from bakefile.py, bakefile manages the project. It is not a service or platform.
> Tasks are methods on Bakebook classes in bakefile.py, decorated with @command. Subprocesses run through self.ctx.run().
> Examples are backed by tests; copy them verbatim.

# bake: command not found

> The bake command is not on your PATH. Install bakefile with uv or pip, and add uv's tool bin directory to PATH if the shell still cannot find bake.

bakefile is not installed, or its bin directory is not on your PATH.

```
bake: command not found
```

## Fix

Install it with the tool you prefer:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"}}
uv tool install bakefile
# or
pip install bakefile
```

If `uv tool install` says it is already installed but the shell still cannot find `bake`, uv's tool bin directory is missing from PATH. The installer output prints the exact line to add to your shell config.

See [Install bakefile](/getting-started/installation) for the full installation guide.
