Cannot Move the Executable to ~/bin

Exercism Support CLI
1

I am using Linux Mint and have followed the Installation Guide carefully.
I cannot move the Executable to bin. The exercism-3.5.4-linux-x86_64.tar.gz has been downloaded and extracted as per the Guide.
Please could you advise?

tim@tim-Aspire-E5-551:~/Downloads$ mkdir -p ~/bin
tim@tim-Aspire-E5-551:~/Downloads$ mv exercism ~/bin
mv: cannot stat 'exercism': No such file or directory
tim@tim-Aspire-E5-551:~/Downloads$```

Where exactly did you extract the .tgz file? Check if it was extracted to folder inside your download folder.

Thanks, yes it was extracted here /home/tim/Downloads/exercism-3.5.4-linux-x86_64

You should be able to cd to that folder with cd ~/Downloads/exercism-3.5.4-linux-x86_64 and follow the instructions.

If something goes wrong don’t hesitate to post again :smile:

Of course! Thank you I only cd to Downloads dohhh

Use ls to list the contents of a directory. Double check what files exist where. If mv says the file doesn’t exist, it probably doesn’t exist. ls will show you what does exist.

Thanks. I made the schoolboy error of just cd’ing to my Downloads folder but not into the folder containing the executable before moving to bin
