I have set my play setup directory path to PATH enviornment varible, But when I am running play command it is showing me error

play FAIL sox: Not enough input filenames specified

Usage summary: [gopts] [[fopts] infile]... [fopts] [effect [effopt]]...

But when I am running ./play command in my setup directory it working fine

Answer 1

That happens because you have installed one package named sox that brings a play command.

So when you run play something you are executing that program and not the play framework one.

So you should:

• Remove that package: it is not installed by default in Ubuntu so unless you really need it for other purposes you should remove it

   apt-get remove sox 

• Add play framework to your PATH. Supposing your play installation is in /opt/play , just do something like

   export PATH=/opt/play/bin:$PATH 

You should add those commands in the required file (ex: bootstrap.sh).
