I'm writing a mac app (osx 10.9) that accesses the terminal commands using NSTask and I wanted to run some of the commands from my app. Where are the terminal commands (gcc, mkdir,git) stored?
Use which to determine this:
% which gcc
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/gcc
% which mkdir
/bin/mkdir
% which git
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/git
They can be scattered all over the place. You can see where individual commands are by using which
which mv
/bin/mv
Also, you can see what are all the paths that are used to search for a given command with the following:
echo $PATH

I installed nix on osx using this command:
$ sh <(curl https://nixos.org/nix/install) --darwin-use-unencrypted-nix-store-volume
Following instructions here:
https://hydra.nixos.org/build/119559243/download/1/manual/#sect-macos-installation
I'm trying to build a project that uses the nix shell and it's telling me to edit something in a file called nix.conf. However the project documentation was setup using a linux or nixos distribution so not sure where this file is located on osx. (The docs say to look in /etc/nix/nix.conf, but this file doesn't exist in osx)
/etc/nix/nix.conf may not exist, you need to create it.

currently I am using my mac terminal for programming. I just want to display the files on terminal but ll does not work. It complained like this
$ -bash:ll:command not found.
Anybody could help me out there? Thanks..
There is no ll command on a vanilla macOS installation. On some Linux distributions ll is an alias to ls.
$ which ll
alias ll='ls -l --color=auto'
/bin/ls

In this documentation it says
unpack the archive and move the oc binary to a directory on your PATH
I tried echo $PATH and it returns:
bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin
Clearly there are multiple path here, which one should I move cp oc binary to?
/usr/local/bin would be the usual choice for user or third-party executables. That way it won't get wiped out when you update the OS.
See also: Where do you keep your own scripts on OSX? - the question is about scripts rather than binaries, but the same logic applies.

I downloaded and installed sox using the Mac OS X binary.
I am trying to run it using sox in the terminal but I keep getting command not found.
Make sure its on your PATH if you are calling it as sox. If it's not you have 2 options:
Add the directory it was installed to to your PATH
Give a path to the sox binary as the call instead. For example (I used homebrew to install sox) my binary is at /usr/local/bin/sox so my command would start with that. If you'd like you can also use alias to shorten that.

This morning an Oh-my-zsh update.
Since then, each time I launch my terminal :
grep: unrecognized option `--exclude-dir=.cvs'
Idem when I try to use git-flow
any idea ?
Grep versions lower than 2.5.3 do not have this option. Try to upgrade your grep, or comment out the lines
for PATTERN in .cvs .git .hg .svn; do
GREP_OPTIONS+="--exclude-dir=$PATTERN "
done
at .oh-my-zsh/lib/grep.zsh line 9. Then it works fine again.
