Trying to get Sublime Text 2 to work on my command line (Mac OS X) using the "subl" command.
Followed these simple instructions: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/osx_command_line.html
When I do $ subl ~/.bashrc I get this error: -bash: subl: command not found. However, if I use the full path or even $ ~/bin/subl ~/.bashrc, the file will successfully open in Sublime.
What could cause the shortcut "subl" to not be found? Do I need to set this somewhere (bashrc, bash_profile, etc)?
That's because ~/bin is not set in your PATH. You can set it by adding one line to your .bash_profile:
export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
If you add ~/bin to your PATH environment variable, bash should be able to find subl:
export PATH=~/bin:${PATH}
Add this line to your .bashrc if you want subl available in every new bash session.

I was trying to add conda into my path. But after I added
export PATH="/data1/neyozhyang/anaconda3/bin/conda"
to my .bash_profile I can not use most of the commands like ls anymore.
It is a linux server.
echo $PATH gives me /data1/neyozhyang/anaconda3/bin/conda
while echo $HOME gives me /data1/neyozhyang
You can choose an editor by it's full path and open ~/.bash_profile.
$ /usr/bin/vim ~/.bash_profile
$ /usr/bin/nano ~/.bash_profile
$ /usr/bin/emacs ~/.bash_profile
And modify the PATH line:
export PATH="/data1/neyozhyang/anaconda3/bin/conda:$PATH"
This might help you get back on your feet (although you don't specify your OS)
PATH=$(/usr/bin/getconf PATH)
That gives you something like /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin so you should be able to access the base utilities.
I am trying to resolve this issue and trying to get it work. What are all the steps of the solution? I really don't know what to do on my Mac terminal
-bash: emacs.profile: command not found
What are you trying to accomplish? If you're trying to open a file named .profile with emacs you'll want to add a space between the command emacs and the file .profile:
$ emacs .profile
If you are typing emacs.profile you will get an error because you are mixing together the command emacs and the file you are trying to edit: .profile. Therefore the solution would be to add a space between them like someone suggested: $ emacs .profile.
On the other hand, if you are typing emacs .profile and you are still getting: -bash: emacs: command not found, this means that you haven't installed emacs yet and your system doesn't recognize that instruction.
Emacs is a very popular text editor and is widely used by technical users, but it is not installed by default.
Solution 1:
If you want to edit a file (in this case ~/.profile) you don't need emacs to do so, you could just use a normal text editor or a pre-installed text editor using your terminal like:
$ vi ~/.profile or $ nano ~/.profile
(Guide to use Vi/Vim text editors) (Guide to use Nano).
Solution 2:
If you want to install emacs to edit that file, you can do so using brew:
$ brew update
$ brew install emacs
And after that you can use:
$ emacs ~/.profile
You can find other ways to install emacs here.
Important Note:
One important thing to consider in this example, is that if you are trying to edit the .profile file (i.e. to set an exported environment variable) you should know that the name of the .profile file might vary from one Mac system to another. The name of this profile configuration file depends on the shell of your system, if you are using bash the name of this profile will be .bashrc or .bash_profile.
Before editing your profile file make sure what is the name of the profile file you are trying to edit. To do so, you can use:
$ cd $HOME
to go to the Home folder and then use:
$ ls -al
to see hidden files (These files starting with . are hidden files). You will find the profile file of your system there.
I'm having trouble with installing Flutter on ubuntu.
Attached is an image of my terminal with the steps I've followed, and the files associated with the flutter directory.
I've followed the steps shown on https://flutter.io/docs/get-started/install/linux and also tried to install with git clone.

I think your problem is in the pwd part of the export command.
Replace the single quotes in 'pwd' with Backtick/back quote (``) like this
export PATH="$PATH:`pwd`/flutter/bin"
EDITED
Above command will just work until you close the terminal.
To make the change permanent you have to edit the .bashrc (or .zshrc, etc), using a text editor like vim, gedit or nano and place the same command at the end of the file.
vim ~/.bashrc or nano ~/.bashrc
Add the next line at the end of the file
# Add flutter to the path
export PATH="$PATH:`pwd`/flutter/bin"
Restart your terminal and verify that your PATH was set correctly with the echo $PATH command
Good luck!!
I am using Linux 18.04 version.
first, add the flutter path in .bash_profile as
export PATH="$PATH:(''flutter path)/flutter/bin"
I have this problem.run the following command in the terminal
source '(flutter path)'.bash_profile'
I have macOS Sierra version 10.12.6
I tried to add a path using the terminal. I entered source ~/.bash_profile and then a text file opened and I entered my path.
But then the terminal stopped responding and bash commands are not recognizable anymore.
If I enter: source ~/.bash_profile nothing happens.
And if I enter any environment related command an error message shows: -bash: printenv: command not found
How can I fix this?
You've probably messed up your path. When you're setting a path it's important to append to it rather than overwrite, or you lose access to all the system paths; /usr/local/sbin, /usr/local/bin, /usr/sbin etc. When setting a new path make sure you use:
$PATH=$PATH:/path/to/add
You can fix this by removing the line from .bash_profile where you overwrote the path. Please paste the contents of .bash_profile if this does not work.
You've replaced $PATH with some of your values and you might not be able to update .bash_profile because of the unavailability of nano. Use the following command to access nano and environment variables.
export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin"
After using the command you can use nano ~/.bash_profile to fix the problem.
I'm a new python user. When I was installing postgresql and running the following order:
$vi ~/.bash_profile
Add PATH=/usr/pgsql-9.2/bin:$PATH before export PATH.
$source ~/.bash_profile
My terminal became very strange. It seemed that I could not logout of the .bash_profile environment. When I use any basic comments like cd, open, etc., something strange happens.
This is my output:
MynametekiMacBook-Air:~ Myname$ cd Documents/
-bash: dirname: command not found
MynametekiMacBook-Air:Documents Myname$ open ~/.bash_profile
-bash: open: command not found
MynametekiMacBook-Air:Documents Myname$ easy_install pip
-bash: easy_install: command not found
How would I fix this?
If you enter
$nano ~/.bash_profile
you will be able to edit your bash profile, you can remove the line that you added that is causing problems and try again, or see if there is a syntax error in what was entered. Once you've finished your edits you need to press ctl+o then enter to confirm and ctl+x to exit back to the bash prompt.
run /bin/mv ~/.bash_profile ~/.bp. Close your terminal. Reopen and look at the new .bp file with vim ~/.bp. Fix any errors and run mv ~/.bp ~/.bash_profile to revert.
Try export PATH=$PATH:/usr/pgsql-9.2/bin instead of Add PATH=/usr/pgsql-9.2/bin:$PATH. Because it looks like you made so your paths are being overwritten instead of being updated.
