-bash: pylint: command not found
The issue is installed python executables aren't being added to your path. Our paths don't look exactly the same (probably because different python versions, I'm not sure) but mine is
host:~ williamhammond$ pip install pylint

I was seeing the same issues as you until I looked here
host:~ williamhammond$ ls /Users/williamhammond/Library/Python/3.7/bin/
dmypy epylint isort mypy pep8 pylint pyreverse stubgen symilar
Once you add this to your path like
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/williamhammond/Library/Python/3.7/bin/
you should be able to use pylint. To make this change permanent make sure to add the command to your ~/.bashrc

I have been trying to install pylint to be used on terminal, but have been unsuccessful in using it. The installation gets successful, but whenever I try to run pylint command, it returns the following error -
-bash: pylint: command not found
I have tried using following commands -
pip install pylint python -m pip install pylint sudo pip install pylint sudo -H pip install pylint
I have uninstalled it, before trying each of the above command, but everytime I install it, the installation gets successful, but I am unable to use it on command line. I know it's something silly I am missing.
Here's the output I get on installation -

PS: I am using macOS Sierra 10.12.3 on a Macbook pro Late 2011, in case this is relevant.
