I am trying to open the content of a directory using text mate by mate . command.
But, I am getting the message :
-bash: mate: command not found
I tried the following command to fix it :
ln -s /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/mate /usr/local/bin/mate
but, unfortunately this did not do the trick for me. It gives me the message :
ln: /usr/local/bin/mate: File exists
How to fix this problem ?
For me TextMate shell command was not installed that is why i was getting this error.
To fix this, go to TextMate preferences, click on Terminal icon then click on 'install' shell command if it's not already installed (if it's already installed you will get option to 'uninstall').
ln -s /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/mate /usr/local/bin/mate
worked for me after installing a MAC 10.9
You can install the shell support in TextMate menu by the following steps:
Textmate -> Preference -> Terminal -> Install
ln -s /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/mate /usr/local/bin/mate
works for mate 2.10
Make sure /usr/local/bin is on your $PATH.

Every time I open my terminal the first line says: -bash: /nvm.sh: No such file or directory.
I just installed nvm on this laptop and obviously I did something wrong.
Does anyone know what commands I can use to fix this?
I tried the following command to remove nvm from my laptop:
$ rm -rf ~/.nvm
Sadly, this did not fix my problem.
Check your .bashrc file (usually in the home folder). See answers to this question. There's probably a line reading /nvm.sh somewhere in there -- if so, just delete it.
As Gasper Stukelj awnsered:
There was a line reading /nvm.sh.
The correct path to the file was for me using macOS Mojave:
$ open ~/.bash_profile
In my case I fixed this problem, just putting in terminal, after installing nvm: export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm" and [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
and after that I installed node normally
How did I find this solution?
Simple, I read the terminal, and it gave two ways to solve. The first option was for me to restart the computer, to see if the changes (installation) took effect, and the second option was for me to put these two commands in the terminal and only : )
Ready to use in my case :)
I used Google Translate
For me the issue was coming from the .bash_profile file. The line was:
source ~/.nvm/nvm.shexport PATH="/usr/local/opt/php#7.0/bin:$PATH"
I removed everything after nvm.she and the error isn't showing in the terminal anymore. This happened while trying to install xdebug on Mac Big Sur.
I failed to find a solution in Google searches, so I just installed nvm again to resolve the issue. I guess some files were not installed.
brew install nvm
I've been following this tutorial in order to get SimpleOpenNI installed on my mac but I keep getting stuck at installing the OpenNI and NITE components because it requires me to navigate to the folders in Terminal and then run "sudo ./install.sh". I do this and I get this error:
sudo: ./install.sh: command not found
I've installed Command Line Tools in Xcode and everything.
Thanks
The reason why that happens is because the script you are trying to execute needs the right permissions.
Type:
sudo chmod a+x install.sh
and then try again.
In directory of install.sh
prompt$ sh install.sh
first open Terminal, type cd and than drag the map into Terminal and press enter. Now type sudo ./install.sh and it will work. Took me very long to find out. Hope it helps.
.sh scripts should have "\n" line breaks.
"Command not found" also occurs if "\r\n" line breaks are used.
Well at least this is the case on FreeBSD.
You need to run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run as root, not autorun.sh
Once you've inserted the Guest Additions ISO, open Files and open the disc from the sidebar. Then, right-click in the background of the window where autorun.sh is and select
Open in > Terminal
Now you can run the following command to install the Guest Additions:
sudo ./VboxLinuxAdditions.run
I'm a newbie but here is an answer that may help with the sh problem...I am running Armbian on an orange pi prime H5 SBC and I had downloaded and unzipped arduino ide well after 2 hours of searching and trying I hit it ....open the directory where the file you want to open or install is ...now at the top of the directory open a terminal(under file it will say open a terminal here).now the sh filename.sh will work.
I am a Mac-newbie (Mountain Lion) and try to set up the "subl"-command for the terminal, like described here:
The first task is to make a symlink to subl. Assuming you've placed
Sublime Text 2 in the Applications folder, and that you have a ~/bin
directory in your path, you can run:
ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text
2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" ~/bin/subl
But it doesn't work. I have now a folder /bin/ under my user and this folder including a alias. But when I tip in subl --help inside the terminal, I get the error -bash: subl: command not found
Can someone helps me out?
KR & thx, Fabian
Change directories to:
/usr/local/bin
then run this instead:
ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" subl
I have found the solution now - there was a problem with RVM. The solution is to enter the command
ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" ~/.rvm/bin/subl
into the terminal.
That happened to me with Sublime Text 3.
This symlink works for me, only I needed was to change the symlink destination to /usr/local/bin/subl
ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/subl
Solution source Paul Byrne answer here
Using Homebrew to install Sublime usually creates the correct symlinks automatically.
brew install Caskroom/cask/sublime-text
Subl can then be accessed like:
# Open Sublime at current directory
subl .
The solution chosen for this question is to put the subl symlink in the ~/.rvm/bin folder which is definitely not a generic solution as this directory is part of a program he has installed.
Although any directory in the path will work, the most common solution is to create a bin directory in the home folder, set it in the path by putting export PATH=$PATH:~/bin in .bash_profile and then running the link command as shown in the original question with this new path.
In the past it was common to put the subl symlink in /usr/local/bin but this directory no longer exists in OSX as of version 10.2 and the /usr/local directory is no longer in the default path.
SOLVED for MAC OSX Mavericks!
I found this answer on this GitHubGist:
https://gist.github.com/artero/1236170
Launch Sublime Text 2 from the Mac OS X Terminal
ln -s /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl /usr/local/bin/sublime
This is the part that I found clarified what many StackOverflow responses have only hinted at, but not explicitly explained:
Now let's do a check to see if everything will run smoothly. Enter this:
open ~/.bash_profile
(In some cases the profile file is named ~/.profile)
You should see at the top of the file a line that starts with: export PATH=
This contains all the directories that will be looked into for executable binaries when you type a command in Terminal. Since we create a symlink to subl called sublime in the /usr/local/bin directory let's check if this directory is listed on that same line.
If it is, perfect. Let's keep going. If not, simply add it like this and save the file:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:(...)
Note: The '(...)' in this example represents other folders that would be listed on the same line and separated by a colon.
If you don't already have a PATH set in your bash_profile you can type:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
If you had to add /usr/local/bin to your PATH, run the following command before continuing:
source ~/.bash_profile
This will reload your .bash_profile with the newly added directory.
Testing
Open a Terminal window and run:
sublime filename (replace "filename" by an actual file name)
Hope that helps clarify for others as well. Currently (FALL 2014) using Mac OSX Mavericks. Cheers
If you just want the command to open files using sublime text, and you're not bothered to use it as your default editor for all commands, why not just add an alias to your ~/.bash-profile ?
alias subl="open -a 'Sublime Text'"
That will work for opening files and directories
Had the same problem on a MAC with OSX Yosemite 10.10.5, and sublime text 3 Build 3083!
Configuring git to work with the above requirements worked perfectly using:
git config --global core.editor "/Applications/Sublime\ Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl -n -w"
And test if it worked with:
git config -e
It works on Mac OSX 10.8.2, echo $PATH shows subl symlink correctly linked as described in this post. The other suggestions on Sublime Text 2 page seem not work with new Macs
I discovered that there was an alias for subl. Type alias to see all defined aliases. Find the source and comment it out, or use unalias subl to unset.
For .bashrc or .zshrc
alias subl="open . -a /Applications/Sublime\ Text.app"
Catalina's auto-sandboxing seems to broke the subl command.
Use the following alias as an alternative
alias subl="open $1 -b com.sublimetext.3"
After $ subl . did not work for me,
I tried $ bundle exec subl . and it worked.
Solution: type $ bundle exec subl . and it should work. (Obviously, omitting the $)
I'm currently going through http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ and it uses the command "mate" to access Textmate through the terminal. I have had Textmate on my Macbook Air (Lion OS) since I first bought it, but when I try to use a command like "mate .gitignore" the terminal gives me "mate: command not found".
I've looked through all other StackOverflow questions regarding this topic and have done the following:
Attempted to create a symbolic link through the terminal with this code.
$ sudo ln -s /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/mate /usr/bin
This code lets me enter my password and tells me the file exists, but still does not allow me to use the "mate" command.
Accessed Textmate/Help/Terminal Usage and tried to create a link for /usr/bin only for it to say operation not permitted.
Used alias mate='open -a textmate'. This works; however, I have to do it every time I open Terminal.
So, my question is can anyone tell me what is wrong? Love to figure this out!
Thank you!
First, you should not add anything to /usr/bin. You should add it into /usr/local/bin. Further, getting the message "file already exists" from ln means that it did not create the link. Try this:
ln -s /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/mate /usr/local/bin/mate
Depending on your current setup, this may have to be run with sudo. In general, if you don't know whether to run something with sudo or not, try without first and see if you get a permissions error, then use sudo.
The best way to do it is from TextMate -> preferences -> Terminal and then check install
all the previous methods didn't work for me.
Couldn't Create Link
Creating the link “/usr/bin/mate” failed with the following reason: Operation not permitted
I am getting this error when I attempt to link the terminal usage with TextMate.
I did this by going Help >> Terminal Usage...
And I tried to create a link in /usr/bin.
I think the problem is something to do with permission issue.
I am wondering if there is a way to work around this problem by changing bash file directly or something and make terminal recognize "mate" as a command.
Thank you for any suggestion.
Assuming Textmate is installed in /Applications the following command in the terminal should manually create the link for you:
$ sudo ln -s /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/bin/mate /usr/bin
The command will ask you for your user account's password so it has the permissions necessary to create the link in /usr/bin/
There should be an option to create it in /usr/local/bin. Create it there. Make sure /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH.
