Spike simulator ISA error - command not found

Question

having the spike file and the pk file in a folder, when I run this command in terminal:

spike -m128 pk archive.x

the following error appears:

zsh: command not found: spike

I don't understand why it doesn't work on my machine but it works on others. I already have riscv64 installed.

Answer 1

if which spike isn't returning anything, then spike isn't in your path. Also, it might help to build spike with a prefix value like /usr/share/$RISCV so that when you sudo make install, everything gets installed in typical path locations.
