Gam command not found on mac

[Ismail Mohideen]

Hello,

I am using Mac OS 10.13 I have upgraded to the latest GAM. now I am unable to run any command. Attached is the error message. 

Any suggestions, please?

You need to set an alias.

To create an alias in bash that is set every time you start a shell:

1. Open your ~/.bash_profile file.
2. Add a line with the alias—for example, alias gam='~/bin/gam/gam'
3. Save the file.
4. Quit the editor. The new alias will be set for the next shell you start.
5. Open a new Terminal window to check that the alias is set: alias.

Maybe replace ~ with the absolute path to your home dir.

Thank you, it worked. 

Thanks,

Ismail Mohideen

I'm having the same problem. I just started using GAM this morning, and I was able to successfully run a project. Now I'm coming back to it again, and I get the error:

-bash: gam: command not found

I don't see a .bash_profile file. What am I missing??

Jill,

Start terminal

Do: ls -al

Do you see files like this?

Yes. These are the only lines that contain the word "bash" --

-rw-------    1 jillelfering  staff   1674 Nov  6 10:09 .bash_history

drwx------   36 jillelfering  staff   1224 Nov  6 10:09 .bash_sessions

I have found that I can make the "gam" command work again if I start by entering -- 

alias gam="/Users/jillelfering/bin/gam/gam"

so I think I'm on the right track with having to create the alias to be remembered the next time, but I can't find where to do that.

Yes, Jill, you are close.
Create a .bash_aliases file and put your alias command in it.
The next time you start the  terminal it should already have the alias loaded.

[Jill Elfering]

Thank you all! Ross sent me files offline that resolved my issue.

Hello, I ran into the same issues. Where I was able to run the gam commands in the morning.

I have edited it on my bash_profile but I am still getting command not found.

I have tried all three variations and still getting command not found. I am suspecting that it is because I am on zsh instead of bash. Would that make a difference?

[Kim Nilsson]

Yup

[Johnny Chen]

I switched from zsh to Bash and I am still getting the same issues. I had it running on zsh in the morning when I installed it
