I want to build an app with Eclipse and PhoneGap, and it is required to edit the .bash_profile file which is located under the Users
folder. But I can't edit it (I can't open the file). Here are the instructions.
I can't open it when I navigate with the Finder
to that file, and I can't open it when I use the command line
open ~/.bash_profile
I created the file with my mouse (right click, new file, and changed the name to .bash_profile
... it is now a shell script).
What am I doing wrong?
You are not doing anything wrong, files starting with a dot (.) are hidden, simply edit the file, and everything is okay.
So you can for example do nano ~/.bash_profile or vim ~/.bash_profile or whichever favorite editor you are using.
You can see your ~/.bash_profile if you start the Terminal application and type:
ls -a
into the Terminal window, since the "-a" option shows even hidden files.
Can use vi editors with the following comment to open the file to edit in terminal
vi .bash_profile
Can user (E) to edit the respective file
For more useful comments like insert and save on vi editor refer
