[SOLVED] handbrake installs without error but "command not found"

I have installed handbrake. Installation was went fine and without any error. However, when I type "handbrake" I get the following,

Code: [Select]
~~> handbrake
zsh: command not found: handbrake

I have searched in '/usr/bin/, /bin, /usr/local/bin' but didn't find the command and also "which" yielded the following:

Code: [Select]
~~> which handbrake
handbrake not found

Could someone shed some light on how to troubleshoot and fix this issue.
My installation trace is

Code: [Select]
~~> sudo pacman -Sy handbrake

For the future, you can check the list of files installed by the package and find the binaries and other things which it provides.

To check the list of installed files from a package:
Code: [Select]
pacman -Ql <package>

In your case, you are looking for "bin" folder and "handbrake" package
Code: [Select]
pacman -Ql handbrake | grep bin

For not installed packages, you can use "pacman -F".
For more information check pacman entry at archwiki.
