Describe the bug
Running 'findmy' from the command line after installation on Mac OS 14.0 Sonoma results in an 'zsh: command not found' error.
To Reproduce

- Install using PIP3 as per instructions
- Launch via 'findmy...' as shown
- See error
Expected behavior
Application should launch
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: MacOS 14.0 Sonoma (clean install)
Happy to be told I've missed a step but I've tried both locally on this machine via Terminal and via a SSH session into the machine and both are giving the error.
This is most likely a path issue related to your Python installation. A good fix depends on how you installed Python, but if you run pip3 show home-assistant-findmy, you should see a Location (probably a path ending with site-packages). Please try adding this location to your path.
(Add export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/the/location to ~/.zshrc, then run source ~/.zshrc)
Thanks for the quick reply.
I've checked the path and added it to my ~/.zshrc. I now get zsh: permission denied: findmy which is strange as I'm the only user on the machine so I'm admin.
I've checked back and I ran pip3 install home-assistant-findmy as my normal user so I'm confused why I'm getting permission denied.
RESOLVED
I uninstalled and reinstalled. On reinstallation I got a message advising of the location and to add to PATH. This was a different location to the one reported by `pip3 show home-assistant-findmy'. Once corrected all works fine.
Thanks for the assistance.
Ah, then you'd probably need to make the script executable as well, but at this point, it was the best decision to do a clean reinstall. Glad it works now. If you are having issues with special characters in device names, you can check out this dev branch (or change device names) until I create a new release.
