Issue
Hello everyone, I'm having some trouble with Poetry recently, although I work with Python for some years.
On a clean macOS install, with only Command Line Tools from Apple installed, we get Python 3.8.2 with some outdated Pip.
Installing Poetry with this Pip version (19) breaks beautifully, but after an --user --upgrade pip I got it working.
The problem is: when using the official installer curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/install-poetry.py | python3 - I got:
Retrieving Poetry metadata
# Welcome to Poetry!
This will download and install the latest version of Poetry,
a dependency and package manager for Python.
It will add the `poetry` command to Poetry's bin directory, located at:
/Users/mateus/Library/Python/3.8/bin
You can uninstall at any time by executing this script with the --uninstall option,
and these changes will be reverted.
Installing Poetry (1.1.8): Done
Poetry (1.1.8) is installed now. Great!
You can test that everything is set up by executing:
`poetry --version`
Everything seems fine, my PATH is already good:
echo $PATH
/Users/mateus/Library/Python/3.8/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
But trying poetry I get zsh: command not found: poetry. 😢
Upon further investigation, we can see that poetry is a symlink under my "Poetry bin directory":

Okay, so lets check what's on /Users/mateus/Library/Application Support/pypoetry/venv/bin/:

As you can see, no signal whatsoever of poetry on Library/Application\ Support/pypoetry/venv/bin, and I really don't understand why. Anyone have any clues?
Already tried a complete uninstall of everything with rm by hand.
Trying to install the alpha/preview release using official installer works. Trying to install from pip directly also works.
So it's seem related to the installer for 1.1.8 and some specific macOS thing, what do you guys think?
Thanks, and I hope I help someone with this issue, I didn't find anything related on my research.

Research direction
Start with install-poetry.py and reproduce the official 1.1.8 installation on macOS 11.5.2 using only Apple Command Line Tools and Python 3.8. Compare it with the working preview and direct-pip installations. Done means the official installer creates a usable poetry command on the reported setup.
