Path

Check the PATH

Linux

To check the PATH, logged in as yourself, run the command (from the system terminal), type

env | grep PATH

Windows

Open git bash and run this

$ echo ~
/c/Users/vardh

" is usually your ~C:\Users\<your user name> folder. Typing echo ~ in the Git Bash terminal will tell you what that folder is.

Path issues

If you see an error like this:

The command could not be located because 'usr/bin' is not included in the PATH environment variable

edit .bashrc in your home directory (.zshrc in Macbook) and add the the following line:

export PATH="/path/to/dir:$PATH"

You will need to source your .bashrc or logout/login (or restart the terminal) for the changes to take effect.

To source your .bashrc, simply type

$ source ~/.bashrc
