Description
Currently we require appmap to be installed in a virtual environment, per the manual install docs.
But if you run the appmap installed from the IDE it will install into your system's python pip packages. So if your python environment is currently setup and running inside of a virtual environment, installing AppMap using the IDE installer will make it appear that AppMap is not installed and thus the appmap-python command will not exist.
In this scenario I can easily solve this by running pip install --require-virtualenv appmap in my existing application virtual environment.

Research direction
Start at the IDE installer entry point and reproduce the reported installation while a Python virtual environment is active. Trace which pip and environment are selected; done means AppMap is installed in the active virtual environment and the appmap-python command is available there.
