[ SOLUTION ]
Thanks to #oguzismail and #stylo I find the solution. In the find command I modified the 2>&1 for 2>/dev/null and deleted the grep command, but I found the problem that it retrieves me two different path (because Android studio it was generation two different apk with the same name in two different paths).
To only get the path of the apk I want, I add a "filter" for my find command so the solution is:
find / -path ./intermediates -prune -o -name app-ipd-debug.apk 2>/dev/null
with name of the folder ./intermediates and -prune -o I can get the path I wanted to.
I saw the solution in this post
[ PROBLEM ]
I am doing a shell script that build an android project, install apk and do some more configurations in the device like set owner device owner (is a kiosk mode app) and some more stuff.
Now I am trying to dynamically build the project and get the apk file to install in the device but it doesn't work correctly.
I try putting the full path as a variable in my shell script and this works installing the app using the command adb install:
adb install -t -r $APK_PATH
I have tried t get the APK_PATH with find command but it retrieves me a lot of output that I don't know how to handle it, the command is :
find / -name apk-file-name.apk
A lot of output with "Permission denied" and "Operation not permitted" is shown and in one line of those the apk path is shown (this is the one I don't know how to get it, only this result)
I try to filter the results using grep but it doesn't work
find / -name apk-file-name.apk 2>&1 | grep -v "Operation not permitted"
and
find / -name apk-file-name.apk 2>&1 | grep -v "Operation not permitted"|"Permission denied"
any help?
You can use the locate command to locate files in your file system.
if you haven't enabled it yet, you can do so by running the following command
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locate.plist
you won't be able to use it for a few minutes since it will index everything and later on you can use locate file_name.apk to find the file you're looking for.
I'm using #angular/compiler-cli to build my ng2 app in aot mode. When I input 'ngc -p tsconfig-aot.json' in my bash window, I get 'bash: ngc: command not found'. However, when I use 'node_modules/.bin/ngc -p tsconfig-aot.json' instead, it works. I googled for serval times but didn't get any usfull information. Can any give me a hand? Thx!
Seems like you need to put ngc in your path:
echo $PATH
Do you see ngc in binary in your path?
If not:
PATH=$PATH:/path/to/ngc
To make it permanent add to .bash_profile
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/ngc
I've tried to change the slash to 'backslash' on windows and it worked for me:
node_modules\\.bin\ngc
If you don't want to set it globally, you can specify an absolut path in your angular-project, just make sure that you delete this part of the path when you don't use it anymore.
ngc is in node_modules/.bin, so depending on where you want to use ngc you can export the path like this:
PATH=$PATH:../../../node_modules/.bin
To run commands located into the node_modules folder of your project, without installing them globally (operation that will make the ngc command work in any system folder), you can use this command:
ngx ncc <options>
Basically ngx is a shortcut that executes any command located in node_modules bin folder.
I am using git bash on Windows - that is git for Windows via the integrated bash. Apparently it uses the MINGW/MSYS underpinning. (Update from #VonC: It now uses msys2 since msysgit is obsolete since Q4 2015.)
So there are already a lot of MSYS tools installed - from awk to zcat. However I miss the man command and zip to compress multiple files into a zip file (unzip exists!).
Where from can I install them? I do not want to install another copy of the MINGW system! Any way just to add some pre-compiled tools to the git bash installation?
Here's another, slightly different, set of instructions to install zip for git bash on windows:
Navigate to this sourceforge page
Download zip-3.0-bin.zip
In the zipped file, in the bin folder, find the file zip.exe.
Extract the file zip.exe to your mingw64 bin folder (for me: C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin)
Navigate to to this sourceforge page
Download bzip2-1.0.5-bin.zip
In the zipped file, in the bin folder, find the file bzip2.dll
Extract bzip2.dll to your mingw64\bin folder (same folder as above: C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin)
7-zip can be added to gitbash as follows:
Install 7-zip on windows.
add 7-zip folder (C:\Program Files\7-Zip) to PATH
On gitbash exp: export PATH=$PATH:"C:\Program Files\7-Zip" (temporary)
On Windows, adding PATH like image below (permanent)
duplicate a copy of 7z.exe to be zip.exe
reopen gitbash again. done!
This way, it works on my laptop.
If you skip step 3. you still can call zip command as 7z instead of zip
Conclusion: Gitbash is running base on windows Path, I think you can run any command that you have added to your Windows PATH.
2016: The zip command can be installed from GoW (Gnu On Windows). man is not provided (too big).
It is to note, however, that if you only want to add the zip command from GoW, still the whole GoW system has to be downloaded and installed. Then you can delete the other commands from the bin directory, however make sure to keep the needed dlls in the directory.
Update 2021: tar/zip are by default installed on Windows 10.
7-zip based solutions are available below.
git-archive, is prepared without any installation, can create zip-archive.
mkdir workrepo
cd workrepo
git init
cp -r [target_file_or_dir] .
git add .
git commit -m commit
git archive -o ../myarchive.zip #
cd ..
rm -rf workrepo
Following script may be usable:
zip.sh foo.zip target_file_or_dir
#!/usr/bin/bash
set -eu
unset workdir
onexit() {
if [ -n ${workdir-} ]; then
rm -rf "$workdir"
fi
}
trap onexit EXIT
workdir=$(mktemp --tmpdir -d gitzip.XXXXXX)
cp -r "$2" "$workdir"
pushd "$workdir"
git init
git config --local user.email "zip#example.com"
git config --local user.name "zip"
git add .
git commit -m "commit for zip"
popd
git archive --format=zip -o "$1" --remote="$workdir" HEAD
I am so glad to share my experience on this issue that I haven't known for two years since the first day I played with Groovy. My method needs to have git for Windows installed in Windows OS.
These steps are for installing 7z command-line utility, which behaves a bit differently from zip:
Download and install 7-Zip from its official website. By default, it is installed under the directory /c/Program Files/7-Zip in Windows 10 as my case.
Run git Bash under Administrator privilege and navigate to the directory /c/Program Files/Git/mingw64/bin, you can run the command ln -s "/c/Program Files/7-Zip/7z.exe" 7z.exe
I am pretty sure it could help you a lot. Trust me!
On Windows, you can use tar instead of zip.
tar -a -c -f output.zip myfile.txt
which is same as,
zip output.zip myfile.txt
no need to install any external zip tool.
I use choco as my Windows Package Manager.
I install 7zip with choco using PowerShell (you must be admin to use Choco)
PS > choco install 7zip.install
Open another gitbash Terminal and locate the 7z.exe executable
$ which 7z
/c/ProgramData/chocolatey/bin/7z
Do a straight copy of 7z.exe to zip.exe and voila
$ cp /c/ProgramData/chocolatey/bin/7z.exe /c/ProgramData/chocolatey/bin/zip.exe
You can mimic a small subset of man behavior in the shell by mapping man <command> to <command> --help | less
Unfortunately, on my machine bash aliases won't add flags to positional arguments, it will try to run the flag as a command and fail (alias man="$1 --help" doesn't work).
And a function called man() is not allowed!
Luckily a combination of bash functions and aliases can achieve this mapping. Put the code below in your ~/.bashrc (create one if it is not there). Don't forget to source ~/.bashrc.
# man command workaround: alias can't pass flags, but can't name function man
m() {
"$1" --help | less
}
alias man="m"
It doesn't get you the full man page, but if all you're looking for is basic info on a command and its flags, this might be all you need.
You can install individual GNU tools from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages.html such as zip.
Then add "/c/Program Files (x86)/GnuWin32/bin" to PATH in your startup script like .profile, .bash_profile, .bashrc, etc.
Here are the steps you can follow.
Go to the following link
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/
Find out whatever command you are missing
Here I need zip and bzip2 for zip command. Because zip command relies on bzip2.dll to run. Otherwise you will get error “error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”.
Unzip the downloaded files
Here I am downloading “zip-3.0-bin.zip” for “zip.exe” and “bzip2-1.0.5-bin.zip” for “bzip2.dll” in the bin folder. /bin/.exe
Copy the command exe file into git-bash folder
Here I am copying “zip.exe” and “bzip2.dll” to \Git\usr\bin.
Reference Link
https://ranxing.wordpress.com/2016/12/13/add-zip-into-git-bash-on-windows/
ln -s /mingw64/bin/ziptool.exe /usr/bin/zip
steps to install SDKMAN on windows
Run Windows Terminal in Admin rights. open git bash inside. (Ctrl + Shift + 4)
winget install -e --id GnuWin32.Zip
mkdir ~/bin
cp /usr/bin/unzip ~/bin/zip
curl -s "https://beta.sdkman.io" | bash
source "/c/Users/ajink/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
sdk selfupdate force
After you can install Java like this.
sdk install java 17.0.2-open
Done ! :)
In msys2, I restored the functionality of git help <command> by installing man-db:
|prompt> pacman -Syu man-db
|prompt> git help archive
For zip functionality, I also use git archive (similar to yukihane's answer).
Here's yet another 7-Zip option that I didn't notice:
Create a script named zip:
$ vi ~/bin/zip
Reference 7z specifying the add command followed by the args:
#!/bin/bash
/c/Progra~1/7-Zip/7z.exe a "$#"
Finally make it executable
$ chmod ugo+x ~/bin/zip
This helped to make a ytt build script happy.
+ zip ytt-lambda-website.zip main ytt

Though this question as been answered quite thoroughly in regards to man there is one alternative to zipping that has not been highlighted here yet. #Zartc brought to my attention that there is a zip compression utility built-in: ziptool. In trying to use it however I found out it is no where near a drop-in replacement and you need to specify each individual file and folder. So I dug into the docs and experimented until I had a bash-function that can do all the heavy lifting and can be used very similar to a basic zip -qrf name * compression call:
zipWithZiptool() {
# Docs: https://libzip.org/documentation/ziptool.html
targetFilePath="$1"
shift
args=() # collect all args in an array so spaces are handled correctly
while IFS=$'\n\r' read -r line; do
if [[ -d "$line" ]]; then
args+=("add_dir" "$line") # Add a single directory by name
else
# add_file <pathInZip> <pathToFile> <startIndex> <length>
args+=("add_file" "$line" "$line" 0 -1)
fi
done <<< "$(find "$#")" # call find with every arg to return a recursive list of files and dirs
ziptool $targetFilePath "${args[#]}" # quotation is important for handling file names with spaces
}
You can then for example zip the contents of the current directory by calling it like this:
zipWithZiptool "my.zip" *
If you are willing to install CygWin also, you can add the CygWin path to your GitBash path, and if zip is there, it will work. e.g. add
PATH=$PATH:/c/cygwin/bin
export PATH
to your .bashrc; NOTE: I would put it at the end of the path as shown, not the beginning.
Since CygWin has a UI-based installer, it's easy to add or remove applications like zip or man.
You can figure out the windows paths of each by saying
`cygpath -w /bin`
in each respective shell.
Regarding zip, you can use a following perl script to pack files:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use IO::Compress::Zip qw(:all);
$z = shift;
zip [ #ARGV ] => $z or die "Cannot create zip file: $ZipError\n";
If you make it executable, name it zip, and put it in your $PATH, you can run it like this:
zip archive.zip files...
however it will not work for directories. There is no need to install anything, as perl and all required modules are already there in the Git for Windows installation.
Regarding man, at least for git there is a documentation invoked like this:
git option --help
it will open in your default browser.
Here is my experience, I cant run and exe or .msi files in my laptop. so downloaded filed from https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow/wiki > go to download Now and Downloaded Source Code (Zip) and unzipped this file in a folder and updated path variable with folder name.
This worked out for me.
If you want to zip files without needing to install any additional tools on Windows, in a way that works both on git bash and on other *nix systems, you might be able to use perl.
Per Josip Medved's blog, the following script creates an .epub (which is a zip file), and includes a filter for stripping src/ from the files added to the zip:
perl -e '
use strict;
use warnings;
use autodie;
use IO::Compress::Zip qw(:all);
zip [
"src/mimetype",
<"src/META-INF/*.*">,
<"src/OEBPS/*.*">,
<"src/OEBPS/chapters/*.*">
] => "bin/book.epub",
FilterName => sub { s[^src/][] },
Zip64 => 0,
or die "Zip failed: $ZipError\n";
'
install zip
https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/zip.htm
copy zip.exe and bzip2.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin to C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin
reopen git-bash
Solutions for me were just to install zip on my terminal(bash):
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install zip unzip
I installed Sencha SDK and Sencha command on my mac-mini and done with some sample app.. but suddenly after some time when I tried to run sencha command on terminal, I got the response as '-bash: sencha command not found', I don't know why this was happened. Earlier I didn't find such type of response but now I got this error. Please tell me what are the possible scenarios for this thing to be happened.. Thanks for your help
Alens-Mac-mini:touch-2.2.0 SenchaTools$ sencha
-bash: sencha: command not found
You should procede that way:
Verify if this command is contained in PATH. PATH is an environment variable holded by bash and initialized when a new user is logged in (.bash_profile file for all user and the corrispective into home for single user). So check what echo $PATH told you and verify if this command is contained into those folder
Probably, from step 1, the answer will be "No, it isn't". So you have to procede this way: use whereis command to search this command (that will be an executable script) and once you find it, you have two possibilities: one is to use it directly by specifying full path (returned from whereis command).
If you want to run simply it with sencha -arguments you have to add executable path returned by whereis ($PATH=$PATH:/returned/path/by/whereis) into file .bash_profile
In that way you should be able to execute your command from any "point" in your filesystem
The Sencha installer expects you to use bash as shell. It fails, if you use any other (like the nice zsh). You need to copy the content of .bash_profile to your shell startup-file (.zprofile in my case), save it and open a new terminal window.
Add PATH and VAR manually in .bash_profile file at the root of your user folder,
export SENCHA_CMD_3_0_0="/Users/you/Path/To/Sencha/Cmd/3.0.0.XXX"
export PATH=/Users/you/Path/To/Sencha/Cmd/3.0.0.188:$PATH

I am beginning to learn ruby and was following the instructions of one video to access the desktop through the -ls command in the terminal. Now, I would like to get out of the desktop in the terminal and don't know how. I know, I know I am a total noob... but can someone please help. Thanks. BTW the command I wrote was:
my-iMac~ me$ cd Desktop/
my-iMac:Desktop samuel$ ls
Where would you like to go?
Go home: cd or cd ~
Go to the previous working directory: cd $OLDPWD
Go to parent of the current directory: cd ..
Go to any directory you want: cd /path/to/directory
cd .. will take you back up 1 level.
for windows, you can open up the file explorer copy path then in your command prompt type "cd" then paste path. Your command prompt should now default to that path. (you can also type the entire path)
cd C:\Users\username\Documents\Folder
