I am trying to install GAM Utility tool in my Linux machine. I tried to install in 3 ways and I faced issues in all of them. Any help on resolving this issue is appreciated. Thanks in advance

1. Using wget command:

$ gam create project
-bash: gam: command not found

On that last attempt (#3)...  you need to be in the directory that GAM is installed in.. and use the following

./gam create project

the ./ tells it to resolve the command from the current directory

Thanks for your response Melillo. 
Now I created the new GAM project using ./gam create project . After project creation I tried to use the command utility tool but i am facing issues . 
Am I missing anything here like updating path variables or some thing. Let me know if I am missing anything here


Press Enter when done...
That's it! Your GAM Project is created and ready to use.
[root@jxn-ux-idmdev gam]# gam info user
-bash: gam: command not found
[root@jxn-ux-idmdev gam]# ls
GamCommands.txt  LICENSE  client_secrets.json  gam  lastupdatecheck.txt  nobrowser.txt  oauth2service.json  whatsnew.txt
[root@jxn-ux-idmdev gam]# vi GamCommands.txt

[2]+  Stopped                 vi GamCommands.txt
[root@jxn-ux-idmdev gam]# ls

Yes.  You have to add the path for gam to your .bashrc file.  When performing the curl setup, this is done for you.  Use this in your .bashrc

alias gam="/home/username/bin/gam/gam"
Replace the text in red with the actual path and name of the file.  

Save the file, then restart the shell... should be good to go.

There is no good reason to run GAM as root. I recommend only running as a regular user...

Thanks for the help. Now the utility tool is working fine

Jay
Thanks for the suggestion Jay. I am not willing to do the whole process again. I changed the owner for all the file from root to a regular user.
