Tried the Scrapy tutorial, but cannot run the crawling script:
scrapy crawl quotes
The error I get:
-bash: /home/szendrei/.virtualenvs/scrapy-projects/bin/scrapy: No such file or directory
I'm under a virtual environment (created with virtualenvwrapper), and Python version 3.8. Scrapy installed with pip3 in the virtual environment. which scrapy shows nothing, pip3 show scrapy says:

Required-by:
scrapy startproject tutorial worked just fine.
Tried to reinstall, but requirements already satisfied.
What could be the solution?
Still don't konw how, but I managed to solve the problem. Uninstalled scrapy with
pip3 uninstall scarpy, deleted the folders that have been created before for the project, and installed again. Now it works.
