setting FORGE_HOME path in mac

I set the home path in the .profile 

export FORGE_HOME=/Users/sreesaran/forge-distribution-1.3.2.Final
export PATH=$PATH:$ANT_HOME/bin:$VISAGE_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$GRADLE_HOME/bin:$FORGE_HOME/bin

This is how i saved in the .profile and forge-distribution-1.3.2. Final is where the bin resides and whenever i type forge in terminal i get this:

-bash: forge: command not found

I also set the home path in: /etc/launchd.conf Can some throw light on me and please explain about setting home path in mac

Setting environment variables in OS X?

Will following this thread be enough.

Solution

  • I think that the file doesnt seem to have the write premission set , that is why the changes mades in the file are not taking effect , so check whether it has write persmission , if not change save it and it will work
