Trouble Installing Play Framework on Mac - shell

I'm having some difficulty installing Play on my mac.
I've successfully installed the program after running
export PATH=/path/to/activator-x.x.x:$PATH
But, I can't run the activator command. It says that activator: command not found.
I tried running
chmod u+x /path/to/activator-x.x.x/activator
But, I just get the "no such file or directory" message.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you just want to install activator successfully, you can do it with the help of HomeBrew which is a software management tool. Type the following command
brew install typesafe-activator
if you have not installed HomeBrew, you can install it using the following command
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Good luck with you

You have to write the export command to the login profile. Usually, this is $HOME/.profile. This file is referred to whenever you open a command shell and thus the system knows the path to activator. If you run the export command directly in the command shell then it will be available only for that session and not when you open a new shell. Here is a tutorial to edit your .profile file.

Why doesn't shell scripts in Shortcuts see my utilities?

i tried using shortcuts. i wanted to run scripts there, but i constantly get an error that the brew utility was not found. it feels like the scripts run in isolation.
i tried use
brew link php
eval 'brew link php'
sh fileWithMyScript.sh
and always got error. how to fix it?
The brew command is not in macOS default PATH. You will either have to use the full path to the command or set PATH before calling the command:
/opt/homebrew/bin/brew link php
PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin brew link php
PATH=$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin cd ~/utils && sh php_8.1.sh
Use a different directory than /opt/homebrew/bin if homebrew is installed elsewhere.

installing .net core on mac

I am installing .net core on a mac and hoping to play around with it a bit on vs code. I am following the steps from
https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#macosx.
However, when I run
dotnet new
I get command not found on bash.
I have followed these previous steps
brew update
brew install openssl
brew link --force openssl
I have also downloaded the core package (installed successfully). I do not see any other steps. Wondering if I am missing a step or how to identify what is missing?
Sometimes I am not sure why the installer doesn't add the PATH to your environment.
Run below in terminal and reopen the terminal:
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/share/dotnet"' >> ~/.bashrc
(Note: If you are using zsh or other shells, please change the above ~/.bashrc to the initialize script of your shell, e.g. ~/.zshrc)
I ran into this same problem earlier today. The fix for me was to close out all Terminal windows, open a new one, then re-run the command.

Mongod: Command Not Found (OS X)

I am trying to test MongoDB and I have it all downloaded and moved into the root folder. I can navigate to the folder that holds the mongod, but when I try to run it by typing "mongod" into my terminal, I get a message that says:
"mongod: command not found"
Both answers above are correct.
You can either specify the path in one of the following files: .profile, .bashrc, or .bash_profile
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/mongodb/bin"
then call the daemon or the shell directly
mongod
mongo
Or for the commands not in the $PATH, use ./mongo or ./mongod from the directory containing these files. This solution can be verbose has you will have to eventually append the whole path when calling these commands from another directory.
/usr/local/mongodb/bin/mongod
or
/usr/local/mongodb/bin$ ./mongod
"Mongod" isn't a stand-alone command. You need to run the command like this:
./mongodb/bin/mongod
I used this webpage to help me answer this question.
This worked for me:
brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install mongodb-community#4.2
mongod
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/
For example, install 64bit MongoDB 2.6.12 on macOS Catalina.
(for newest versions you may go to https://www.mongodb.com/download-center/community for your platform).
Download, extract and move:
wget http://downloads.mongodb.org/osx/mongodb-osx-x86_64-2.6.12.tgz
tar xzf mongodb-osx-x86_64-2.6.12.tgz
mv mongodb-osx-x86_64-2.6.12/ /usr/local/mongodb/
Add to file ~/.zshrc this:
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/mongodb/bin"
PS: .bash_profile or .profile not worked in my case
Reload terminal (or close, open it):
source ~/.zshrc
Make directory for data and set rights:
mkdir -p ~/data/db
chown -R mongodb.mongodb ~/data/db
Run MongoDB:
mongod --dbpath ~/data/db
You need to add the name of the folder that contains the command mongod into your PATH so your shell knows where to find it.
So, if mongod is in /usr/bin/freddyfrog, you would edit ~/.profile and find the line that says PATH= and edit it to look like this:
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/bin/freddyfrog
Then login again to make it take effect.
I received the same error message because I used the wrong command to run mongod (meant for M1s) for my 2019 MacBook with an Intel processor. You can skip past Homebrew updates and MongoDB installation but here's how I resolved my issue:
Download Xcode Command Line tools.
xcode-select --install
Allow Homebrew to add and access MongoDB:
brew tap mongodb/brew
Update Homebrew:
brew update
Install MongoDB Community Edition (#6.0 is the latest version at the time of this post):
brew install mongodb-community#6.0
macOS with Intel processors:
mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf --fork
macOS with Apple M1 processors:
mongod --config /opt/homebrew/etc/mongod.conf --fork
Then open the shell:
mongosh
Or just run mongod.
Official documentation on installation here.
3 steps:
Step 1:
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/mongodb/bin"
OR
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/opt/mongodb#3.2/bin"
(replace version number with your local version)
The first step will allow you to run the command, but will get you another error: "/data/db does not exit" so you have to
Step 2 :
sudo mkdir -p /data/db
Now /data/db is read only, but it has to be writable also so
Step 3 :
sudo chown -R USERNAME /data/db
I was trying to install a previous version (3.6) using latest documentation (4.2 is already released). So, they now call it mongodb-community#3.6.
In order to update PATH for such setup, the statement should be
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/opt/mongodb-community#3.6/bin";
I got hint from #retroGiant 's answer
run this command, it works:
brew services start mongodb-community#4.0
I have installed mongodb-community#3.2, was facing the same issue. I followed below steps.
open bash profile in any editor (you can also try - vi ~/.bash_profile)
write this export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/opt/mongodb-community#3.2/bin" & save.
do this . source ~/.bash_profile
In root directory
sudo mkdir data
cd data
mkdir db
then
sudo chown -R yourUsername /data/
copy path of your mongodb/bin downloaded folder (I suggest you put it in home folder not root dir)
in terminal
export PATH="paste the link here :$PATH"
now it should work but if not
In case you are using different Unix shell and
trying to execute mongod within visual studio code( for example ),
make sure to read the documentation to link PATH.
For example, if you are using zsh create .zprofile in your home directory.
touch .zprofile
copy your previously made PATH into .zprofile
Now everything should work as expected.
I was looking for the same and later I have found that now it's very straight forward to install the new MongoDB Community Edition like below:
Installing MongoDB 6.0 Community Edition
brew tap mongodb/brew
Note: If you haven't yet install brew then follow this link: https://brew.sh/#install
Update Homebrew
brew update
Install MongoDB
brew install mongodb-community#6.0
The installation includes the following binaries:
The mongod server
The mongos sharded cluster query router
The MongoDB Shell, mongosh
Run MongoDB Community Edition
To run MongoDB (i.e. the mongod process) as a macOS service, run:
brew services start mongodb-community#6.0
To stop a mongod running as a macOS service, use the following command as needed:
brew services stop mongodb-community#6.0
MongoDB 5.0 issue resolved - SEP/2022
do following steps
step 1: open a .zshrc file if it does not exist it will create by itself by following the command. For opening or creating a .zshrc file below command is the same.
vim .zshrc
step 2: insert value in it by pressing 'i'
step 3: insert the below command there or paste it there.
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/opt/mongodb-community#5.0/bin"
step 4: to exit click on esc key and the write :wq
step 5: Close the terminal and reopen it and type the below command
mongo
Output
MongoDB shell version v5.0.11
connecting to: mongodb://127.0.0.1:279021/?
compressors=disabled&gssapiServiceName=mongodb
Successfully integrated mongo 🎉 🎉 🎉
happy coding !!
If you use brew then check the path:
brew list
brew list mongodb-community#...
then add it to .zshrc
zsh: command not found: mongo
after that use mongosh instead of mongo
This answer is a little bit unrelated, but if you using vscode & would like to interact with mongoDB using command line, have a read.
I was looking to use mongod command as well (as i love to use command to interact with mongoDB), but after several attempts of install i completely give up. Until i found this, the mongoDB vscode extension.
The extension is loading the data pretty fast just like mongod command compare to mongo compass. It allow you to perform CRUD & aggregation in the mongoDB playground, and most importantly you able to retrieve the command on next execution by storing your command in a file with .mongodb extension.
*Update: After using it several weeks, everything is nice, just need to make sure you connecting to the right mongoDB connection (if you establish few different connection)

How to put psql on the path when using Postgres.app on OS X?

I've installed Postgres93 on my Mac. I can open the application, and "Open psql" through the app which opens up a command line interface with psql.
However, when I type $ which psql nothing is returned. The installation path is /Applications/Postgres93.app. How do I make $ which psql show the correct result?
Mac OS X - Mavericks
PostgreSQL package, I'm not as sure about. I went here and downloaded it - http://postgresapp.com/
I just had postgres installed and was not able to run the psql command until I ran the following command in my terminal:
export PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.5/bin:$PATH"
Now the terminal knows where to find postgres when I use the psql command.
Remember to replace the version number '9.5' with your current version.
I had the same problem with nothing showing for the which psql command till I run the command below to resolve it. The command provided below is just a little tweak of what has already been provided by others here. The only difference is, instead of providing a specific postgres version number in the command, you can simply tell postgres to use the latest postgres version by simply running the following command:
export
PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin:$PATH"
And now my terminal was able to find the path to postgres when I run which psql.
Hope this helps.
On macOS Mojave these instructions work well:
If your Postgres has not been installed yet, I suggest you use the great "brew" package manager from here https://brew.sh/ :
$ brew cask install postgres
or you can install it usual way from the website
Put this to the bottom of your ~/.bash_profile file:
export PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin:${PATH}"
Restart your terminal or restart your ~/.bash_profile directly with the command:
$ . ~/.bash_profile
Verify your installation:
$ psql --version
** Edited: to include a permanent fix, not just during your current session. **
I had this same problem, and also found a clear answer lacking in the docs.
To fix:
Download the new app, and follow the instructions to move it to the Applications folder
Add the new bundle to your path by typing the following in your Terminal (version number specific - mine is 9.4):
PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin:$PATH"
To fix the issue on a permanent basis, run the same line but with export in front:
export PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin:$PATH"
It appears that you installed Heroku's Postgres.app, which is a tool intended for throw-away testing and development. Add the contents of the bundle to your PATH by following the instructions in the Postgres.app documentation - see "command line tools".
On macos mojave i've added the following line on my ~/.profile :
export PATH=$PATH:/Library/PostgreSQL/10/bin
the psql command line client lies into this folder. i've used the enterprisedb installer.
I just experienced the same problem, and solved it by adding export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin to .bash_profile. Note that this line is version-specific, so be sure to check this line against your current version of Postgres.app.
Using Mac OS Monterey, the latest Homebrew (3.4.0) and postgres#13.
I was able to add psql to the path by using -
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/postgresql#13/13.6/bin:$PATH"
Replace #13 and 13.6 with your version.
The latest homebrew install location seems to be /opt/homebrew/*
I'm using catalina 10.15.3 and I had the same issue after installing psql using homebrew. Then I noticed, homebrew mentioned
==> libpq
libpq is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because conflicts with postgres formula.
If you need to have libpq first in your PATH run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/libpq/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
So, I ran 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/libpq/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile and psql was added to my path
In Mac, there is a SQL Shell application already under /Applications/PostgresSQL
try that
Also, you can run /Library/PostgreSQL/11/scripts/runpsql.sh
In my case, I installed Postgres12 and had the same issue. I had to look out for the location of my bin folder. It happened to be in /Applications/2ndQuadrant/PostgreSQL/12/bin. So I had to run export PATH="/Applications/2ndQuadrant/PostgreSQL/12/bin:$PATH" in my terminal and restart the terminal. That solved it.

Mac: How to fix sudo command failure?

I am writing script to run SU commands programmatically to do various operations. But, All the commands created through my program is not working. Then, i tried those commands in Terminal (Mac os x) by typing it, but it gives the following result,
sudo: apt-get: command not found
Could someone please advise me, why is this error coming up, how can i make these working?
Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple didn’t.
install ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go/install)"
e.g :
$ brew install wget
There's also MacPorts, and fink -- I also have homebrew, but also keep the others around for when I encounter things that one system has that the other doesn't.
apt-get is unique to the Debian based operating systems. If you want a package manager for OSX, may I suggest homebrew
http://brew.sh
