New Pleskian
I have a problem using Plesk cli on Debian (OS: ‪Debian 10.8‬ Product: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.33 Update #1)
Server Administration Panel of Plesk works fine, no problem, but if I try to execute command on SSH - I get an error:

( execute commands as root)

root@hungry-carv:~# plesk
bash: plesk: command not found

root@hungry-carv:/usr/local/psa/bin# plesk
bash: plesk: command not found

root@hungry-carv:/opt/psa/bin# plesk
bash: plesk: command not found


I used the recommendations from this article, but this doesn't work in my case...
I understand that the problem is probably in the wrong path, but I could not find a solution in the documentation for Plesk....

Looks like a corrupted Plesk installation: not all the required Plesk packages are installed on the server.
  1. Download Plesk installer script:
    # wget https://autoinstall.plesk.com/plesk-installer
  2. Add executable permission to the downloaded script:
    # chmod +x ./plesk-installer
  3. Run the script and proceeded further on the menu to install the missing packages:
    # sh ./plesk-installer
 
I found a solution of this problem.
I did search for executable files and find correct path to Plesk CLI in my server - /usr/sbin/
Now CLI works fine:

root@hungry-carv:/# /usr/sbin/plesk
Usage: plesk [command]

Commands:
bin - Run the specified Plesk command-line utility (e.g., domain, client)
checkupgrade - Download the preupgrade checker for the latest, or specific Plesk version
conf - Open the specified Plesk configuration file in the editor
..............

OR

root@hungry-carv:/usr/sbin# ./plesk version
Product version: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.33.1
OS version: Debian 10.8 x86_64
Build date: 2021/02/25 14:00
............

I will be glad if this information helps someone.
