bbedit command not found, despite BBEdit's instance that it is installed
Chris Corwin
$ bbedit .git/config
...I am getting:
-bash: bbedit: command not found
This is a fairly new machine, and is in a corporate environment.
I'm unsure where to even beging poking.
Permissions?
A $PATH issue ?
Help?
Thanks!

Have you tried the menu command BBEdit > Install Command Line Tools…?
If the command isn't there, you're running the App Store version. Bare Bones has a remedial installer at <http://www.barebones.com/support/bbedit/cmd-line-tools.html>.

* the command-line tools have been installed? See application menu.
* When installed the bbedit tool is located at /usr/bin/bbedit
Check that this is in your $PATH, Google tells me that this is true by default.
* The tool at this location is actually a symbolic link into the application package.
I don't think this is a permissions issue if you can run BBEdit itself.
* You are not running the Mac App Store version? This version does not have the
command-line tools. In this case refer to http://www.barebones.com/store/macappstore.html
for further causes of action.
* Installing the command-line tools from the non-macapp store version will require
administrator permissions. I'm not sure how your system is locked down in you particular
corporation. This can be fun sorting out, I hope you are on speaking terms with your
administrator ;-)
If this is all OK, then contact support directly to get help in solving the issue.
Best,
Maarten

On 10.6 and later, the tools are installed in /usr/local/bin/,
and with 10.0 and later the installed items are actually
symlinks to the tools in the application package (the latter
which you should not mess with).
Others' advice re app store builds etc is valid and well formed. :-)

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they
sedate me.

$ which bbedit
/usr/bin/bbedit
$ ls -l /usr/bin/bbedit
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 53 Sep 12 2011 /usr/bin/bbedit -> /Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/Helpers/bbedit_tool
$ ls /usr/local/bin/bb*
ls: /usr/local/bin/bb*: No such file or directory
Is this a legacy thing?

Yes. If you do a clean install and install the BBEdit command line tools, they go to /usr/local
$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/bb*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 61 Feb 21 09:45 /usr/local/bin/bbdiff@ -> /Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/Helpers/bbdiff
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 66 Feb 21 09:45 /usr/local/bin/bbedit@ -> /Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/Helpers/bbedit_tool
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 61 Feb 21 09:45 /usr/local/bin/bbfind@ -> /Applications/BBEdit.app/Contents/Helpers/bbfind

Yes; new or clean installs will go into /usr/local/bin

This solved it.
None of the googling I did brought this to light.
Thanks :)
