I have a file called butcher and at the top of this file I put #!/bin/bash. The I changed permissions like so chmod 777 butcher. however when I try to run the script by typing butcher, I get this error: -bash: butcher: command not found. I'm not sure how to fix it, please help! Thank you in advance! :D
The file would have to be on your $PATH for your system to find it and execute it. Otherwise, the entire path to the file would have to be specified.
To show your path try:
echo $PATH
To run your script, either put it in one of those locations (such as /usr/local/bin), or go to the directory butcher
is located in and run ./butcher
.
