Installing wget on mac - unable to find .bashrc file

Question

I am trying to install WGET on my macbook. I am using this tutorial to do so.

I came to the final step but it says:

If you do not see output, edit $HOME/.bash_profile or $HOME/.bashrc and add/edit/append PATH as follows: export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/bin

Where can I find $HOME/.bash_profile ? Can someone give me the exact path to $HOME/.bash_profile ?

When I type $HOME/.bashrc I get the following output.

-bash: /Users/Clara/.bashrc: No such file or directory

Answer 1

$HOME refers to your home directory, which seems to be /Users/Clara in your case. If the files .bashrc or .bash_profile do not yet exist, you can just create them with a simple text editor.
