Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Googolplexed0/zotify/issues/60

Originally assigned to: @Googolplexed0 on GitHub.

Bug Description
Upon updating my zotify version (as well as uninstalling and reinstalling), I'm unable to use zotify as a command

Bug Triggering Command
'zotify', 'zotify --help', 'zotify --version', etc.

Error Traceback / Logs

our docs for more information on this, as well as some pointers on how to migrate to a different home path.
Installing to existing venv 'zotify'
installed package zotify 0.9.25, installed using Python 3.10.9
These apps are now globally available

Zotify Version
v0.9.25

Additional Context
I've been attempting to update my zotify version, following issues with librespot authentication (described here: https://github.com/Googolplexed0/zotify/issues/48), and have tried both installing zotify with the --force flag, as well as uninstalling/reinstalling (using both pip and pipx), as well as refollowing the instructions in the detailed install section, and keep receiving the above error. Even if I navigate to the folder 'zotify.exe. is located in, I can't call 'zotify' without throwing the above error
