Installed but won't work about m-cli HOT 18 CLOSED

@Strandbummler I found out that my PATH is in .bash_profile not .profile

So I changed @blahah 's command to echo "export PATH=\$PATH:/usr/local/m-cli" >> ~/.bash_profile

Now m works perfectly for me :) hope this helps

from m-cli.

@jameshalsall I think it's a good idea, I've changed this in the latest commit.

from m-cli.

@Strandbummler are you still getting this error? try to install the tool again I've made some changes and now it's not required export the path in your profile, It creates a file automatically in /etc/paths.d/m-cli

from m-cli.

you need to add the install location to your PATH:

If you use bash:

echo "export PATH=\$PATH:/usr/local/m-cli" >> ~/.profile

or if you use zsh:

echo "export PATH=\$PATH:/usr/local/m-cli" >> ~/.zshrc

then open a new terminal, and m should be found.

edit: added missing \ to both commands

from m-cli.

Just a friendly reminder, make sure you open a new terminal window after these changes. It won't take effect if you haven't yet.

from m-cli.

Having the exact same issue.

What's the output of ls -alh /usr/local/m-cli ?

from m-cli.

everything is there, i guess

from m-cli.

Having the same issue with the path. However, when I copy the main script with a name of "m-cli" everything works well. See the output below. I'm on OSX 10.11.5.

Update: Even if I rename the main script to "mc" it works. Seems to be an issue with the one character script name and the path.

from m-cli.

@Strandbummler OK, so the only other obvious place is the PATH. Output of echo $PATH ?

from m-cli.

USER@HOST:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/MacGPG2/bin

i think we are getting somewhere, but in ~/.profile it says:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/MacGPG2/bin:/usr/local/m-cli

from m-cli.

I got mine to work though this is not as nice. After installing, I moved the whole directory from the usr/local to User/USER/ and renamed it to '.m-cli'. Then I went into my .profile and edited the path to be User/USER/.m-cli.

from m-cli.

@Strandbummler I apologise for my typo in the echo command - there should be a \ before $PATH (I've fixed it above now). I recommend deleting that line from ~/.profile and then re-running the fixed echo command above.

However, this doesn't explain your issue. As @scottosmith says the changes only take affect when the terminal session starts. If you open a new terminal window and run echo $PATH && which m what do you get?

from m-cli.

@wlin114 solution worked for me.

from m-cli.

I'm going to close this issue as there is no new news

from m-cli.

@rgcr can we not create a symlink for /usr/local/m-cli/m into /usr/local/bin in the install.sh? This would alleviate any path issues people have post-install.

from m-cli.

Since i started the topic, I just wanted to let you know that it works now, at least for me :) Thanks for the effort. I really appreciate it, keep up the good work.
