I have an application named delphi in Delphi_Dp directory. Its PATH is /usr/kalyan/Downloads/Delphi_Dp

I have done export PATH=$PATH:/usr/kalyan/Downloads/Delphi_Dp

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/kalyan/Downloads/Delphi_Dp' >> ~/.bash_profile

But in terminal, when I type delphi, it is showing Command not found.

Please Help..

  • have you tried to execute this binary directly in the specific folder using ./delphi? is the binary executable then? it seems a simple question... – logoff Feb 13 '13 at 10:08
  • Have you logged out and back in again for change to take effect. If yes simple check that the file is where it should be and path is correct. Edit the question to include the output of ls -la /usr/kalyan/Downloads/Delphi_Dp/de*; echo $PATH – Warren Hill Feb 13 '13 at 10:18

Though some people may advice against this, however, with hindsight, I have never experienced any negative impact of this. Instead of exporting the PATH to .bash_profile, export to .bashrc as follows:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/kalyan/Downloads/Delphi_Dp' >> ~/.bashrc
