Hello, I am new to Chia and Linux and I cannot run Chia-h command under Linux.
What is the reason, please?

Do you have any additional information?
Does return any errors?
Are you running it as root?

Did you follow these steps?
https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/wiki/INSTALL#ubuntudebian

did you type in the . ./activate command in the chia-blockchain directory? you have to do this every time you restart or open a new console.
aka there should be a (venv) in front of your bash:

okay i think you don't need to do this because you installed it as a package.

could you send the result of whereis chia and chia -h? Maybe this shows some weird things.

alternatively you could remove the current installation (when you already have plots, save them and the 32 or so words for your key) and install it with the other method. This is also not that hard, just copy the commands one by one.

Yes I will try to reinstall by command. Because I cant find ./activate.
Thanks to you and good luck for me.

no this is perfectly normal xD you have to add a key now xD. Did you also install the gui? (You can set up a key in there and also farm, this should be the easiest) The instructions for starting the gui are also in the install instructions
