Add the current directory to $PATH
Setting up our tools can be tricky sometimes. Not every tool will automatically add itself to the $PATH
variable. When that happens I use find
to locate the file,
sudo find / -name SDK_script.sh
After a moment it will start showing you file locations, from there cd
into that directory, and now it's easy to add it to your config like so:
echo "export PATH=$PWD:\$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
>> file
will redirect standard output (or stdout) to a file, and append it's contents if the file exists, or creates it if it doesn't. Also the back-slash (\
) is an escape symbol here so it prints "$PATH" instead of the contents of the variable $PATH
