I've created a symbolic link: sudo ln -s ../../Applications/MAMP/htdocs/project/tools.sh /usr/local/bin/n
. The symbolic link is added to the system: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 57B Jul 27 09:05 n -> ../../Applications/MAMP/htdocs/project/tools.sh
. But when I type "n" inside my terminal it says: command not found: n
. What I'm doing wrong?
A relative link would be useful only from a given directory, and then only if the current directory .
(referred to as dot ) were in your PATH
variable. Unless your shell initialization set that explicitly, on OSX you won't have dot in PATH
.
The dot may be explicit:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:.
or implicit. For example, if PATH
were one of the following, it would implicitly use dot :
:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin::/usr/sbin:/sbin
