Hi everyone!
I've just downloaded the executable file 'bs'. The next step is the authentication, but when I type in the bs directory:
$ bs auth
bs: command not found
Someone help me?
Thanks in advance

For the command to be widely available, the binary needs to be executable and live in a directory listed in the PATH environment variable — so you can move the downloaded binary to one of the directories given by echo $PATH

Alternatively, you can reference the binary by its path, so ./bs if you're in the directory where the binary was download, or /absolute/path/to/binary/bs

Hope that helps,
Ben

That was not the problem, because I tried to launch bs command after make the binary executable. But now the problem is solved. Thank you for your help anyway!
