Install script for private use in ubuntu

I created a script and i want to install it for my private use, i do this steps:

Set execute permission as follows: $ chmod 755 demo

Run it & test it as follows: $ ./demo Hello World

Copy script to your own bin directory (Install script for private use) $ cp demo ~/bin

Check whether it is working or not $ demo $ demo Hello World

But i get this error: No command 'demo' found

Solution

  • You will need to add the ~/bin path to $PATH environment variable so that the shell can find the demo executable.

    $ PATH=$PATH:~/bin
$

    OR

    You can specify the whole path to demo executable like this:

    $ ~/bin/demo Hello World
