Install CLI in LInux Debian 12

Exercism
1

Hi, I have linux Debian 12 and it won’t let me run exercism.
The steps I have done is to unzip the file “exercism-3.2.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz”.
Then I moved it to a ‘Developer’ directory where I have web developer tools like nodejs.
I then added it to the PATH in the .bashrc file as add nodejs [export PATH=“$PATH:$HOME/Developer/exercism”], it says the file is not found.

Did you reload via $source ~/.bashrc?

Yes, after editing the .bashrc I always do this

What is the output of

ls -l $HOME/Developer/exercism

Response

-rwxr-xr-x 1 jhonnyvcv jhonnyvcv 8859648 ago  1 11:42 /home/jhonnyvcv/Developer/exercism

In archive .bashrc

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/Developer/exercism"

In directory Developer:

jhonnyvcv@Jhonny-Laptop:~/Developer$ ls -l
total 8656
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jhonnyvcv jhonnyvcv 8859648 ago  1 11:42 exercism
drwxr-xr-x 6 jhonnyvcv jhonnyvcv    4096 ago  9 00:27 nodejs

OK, so that’s the executable itself. You don’t put that in the PATH, you put the directory it’s in. You want

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/Developer
# or
PATH+=:$HOME/Developer

Two things to note:

  • PATH is already exported, you don’t need to do it every time you alter it.
  • quotes are not required for variable assignments.

Without showing what you did, what happened, and maybe the source of instructions you are following, it is very hard to help you @kodi6.

We have no idea where you are in the process, nor what difficulties you have faced.
