So I'm running MotionEye on Arch aarch64 and it's been installed from git as per instructions. All is well except
/etc/systemd/system/motioneye.service which points to /usr/local/bin/meyectl instead of /usr/bin/meyectl where it's been actually installed.
Might be just a distribution specific issue, I don't know.

Arch Linux is installing pip packages to /usr instead of /usr/local? All distros I use consequently use /usr/local, and keep /usr for their distribution package manager exclusively.

We can do which meyectl or command -v meyectl to detect the effective executable location, so not a big issue. I am just surprised.

Yes, /usr/

init: adjust meyectl path if needed
2a7da4f 
On Arch Linux, pip seems to not install Python modules/executables to /usr/local/bin but /usr/bin instead. In such cases, search the meyectl path in PATH and adjust the systemd service. Print an error if it could not be found at all.

Fixes: #3005

PR up: #3011

Does it work when you run motioneye_init with this branch?

sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-deps 'https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye/archive/arch.tar.gz'
sudo motioneye_init
