Steps to reproduce

Which python version do you use ?

[Yoyasp]

Im sorry, i can't reproduce your error.
After installing your pip freeze it just works...

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/fab$ flask fab create-app
Your new app name: 

Im using python 3.10.12 and pip 22.0.2.

Are you sure you are using the right environment (venv/pipenv if using virtual env's) and you installed the packages under the right user?

I saw this on MacOS with a virtual environment and Python 3.12.1 and flask-appbuilder 4.3.10. When I closed the shell and opened another, reloading the virtual environment the prior error Error: No such command 'fab'. became the same error I found in Issue #2131. $ pip install distutils solved it for me.
