I'm followint these instructions to install Kile+TexLive 2010 with package manager on my Ubuntu Maverick: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=141934
The problem I have is that when I finish downloading all the packages to my computer, I have to edit the path but Ubuntu doesn't recognize it. The lines are the following:
PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2005/bin/i386-linux:$PATH
export PATH
I run echo $PATH and as long as I don't close the terminal, the path appears with the echoing, but if I close it, the path disappears. Nevertheless (whether I close the terminal or not), I'm supposed to run texhash but I am told that the command is not found. I already tried editing the path by adding the two lines above to both .bashrc in my home directory and to bash.bashrc in /etc/ directory.
I'm just following the instructions linked above, but I'm a linux rookie. Could anyone help, please?
in order to permanently change any environment variable under Ubuntu/Linux, you must modify the files you mentioned (for example ~/.profile). If you simply issue an export via the terminal, its effect will end once the terminal is closed. Sometime it is needed to perform a logout/login for the changes to take effect.
Also, mind the syntax of what you write in the above mentioned file(s), like "'s around $PATH.

I am trying to get mujoco_py running. When I do
import mujoco_py
I get this error:
Exception:
Missing path to your environment variable.
Current values LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
Please add following line to .bashrc:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/jonah/.mujoco/mjpro150/bin
I have added the above line to both /etc/skel/.bashrc and ~/.bashrc. If I run
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
I get
/home/jonah/.mujoco/mjpro150/bin/
My .mujoco folder includes mjkey.txt and the mjpro150 folder. I can run ./simulate successfully, so I have a feeling that this is some kind of mujoco_py specific bug.
Which program do you use to import mujoco?
I had a similar issue using mujoco_py with PyCharm Community 2018.1. A workaround was to launch PyCharm from the terminal instead of using the launcher icon. Maybe it could help with your issue too.
Otherwise you could try adding the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ~/.profile instead of ~/.bashrc, as proposed in this answer here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1022836/python-not-recognizing-ld-library-path/1022913#1022913
You can try to reinstall Pycharm for the newest version.
After you save the .bashrc file your want execute this code.
source ~/.bashrc
Now link is updated.
Please check the user which you run the code with. The mismatch user will cause this problem. There is the checklist may help you:
Don’t use ‘sudo’ to run the code;
Don’t use ‘sudo’ or virtual environment (e.g., anaconda) to run Pycharm (If you run the code in Pycharm).
I'm having the following problem installing Titanium Studio. On my Mac (OSX Yosemite), the terminal shows that I have Node, NPM, Titanium, Alloy etc. all installed and 'callable' from any path. Titanium Studio keeps failing to run because it can't find the CLI.
If I go to Titanium's terminal view, absolutely nothing seems to be installed. Even 'ls', 'cd' etc. cannot be run. Anyone know what I'm missing here? It's like .bashrec never gets loaded or something. Would appreciate any pointers in the right direction,
cheers,
Wittner
Ok. Looks like this had nothing much to do with Titanium and everything to do with my system setup, but this might help others who experience the same symptoms.
Turns out that my .bash_profile was incorrectly set up.
.bash_profile is a batch file which holds information about (among other things) the current path. This file, if it exists, gets run every time terminal is started up. One of my path statements in the file ended without :$PATH
:$PATH concatenates the current path when you are putting a path command in the file e.g.:
export PATH=/etc/bin/
export PATH=/Applications:$PATH
The ':$PATH' at the end of the second statement ensures that the path now contains both /etc/bin/ and /Applications. Without :$PATH, the second line would have set the path to /Applications only, overwriting the /etc/bin/ entry.
So in effect all of the PATH commands before the last one had been overwritten. Terminal could not see where ls, cd or an of those command line tools were. My own terminal worked fine because I had it using ksh (Korn shell) which I had set up with some fancy colours and listing options. When Titanium tried to load a fresh copy of terminal, the PATH was effectively being overwritten and so Alloy, Node etc. where not visible to it.
I fixed up the erroneous PATH statements in the .bash_profile, restarted the app and now Titanium works fine.
everyone.
I had a basic question want to consult, about the environment variable setting.
After closed my one existed terminal which could execute compile(make) and do customed(mksdboot) command, i can't do mksdboot command anymore(I had execute a predefined setting environment variable shell script i.e. $ . ./arndale_envsetup.sh again) in the new terminal.
Cause i am a beginner in Linux, i am not very clearly about the environment variable setting rules.
i had tried to 'su' or 'sudo' to execute mksdboot, but no luck:(
ps. I had another project needs to compile in my PC(i didn't export PATH to .bashrc, only execute export PATH when i open a new terminal every time), may it efforts the original project's environment variable?
thanks.
[UPDATED]
i tried using $source ./arndale_envsetup.sh, relative commands worked finally.
but i still did't figure out the reason between work or not work. >"<
The command
history
will list what your previous commands where.
This might give you a pointer what set the path in the way you needed it.
You could also try to see where you command is via
locate mksdboot
I would like to customize the $PATH variables included in the Cygwin environment, how can I do this? One solution I know of is to add the following line to the end of the Cygwin.bat file:
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
By default the shortcut starts bin/mintty.exe, how can I change that default behavior?
All Windows environment variables are included in your Cygwin environment automatically on startup. If you'd like to customize what they are, you can overwrite the whole $PATH variable using a line similar to what you already mentioned in your Cygwin.bat file:
PATH="colon:separated:list:of:all:paths"
Also if you'd like to change which terminal is used by Cygwin, one alternative is rxvt.
Another popular solution seems to be using PuttyCyg to putty directly into your Cygwin installation to get the benefits of the Putty terminal. See the effective-cygwin
GitHub page for setup instructions and more.
See this stackoverflow post for a full list of suggested alternatives to the default Cygwin terminal.
im trying to install xampp on "new" linux mint machine.
However im quite a noob to linux since i havnt used it for that long.
When i try to run the file that ive download from the following page:
Xampp download
i get the following error two errors:
Could not display "/home/marc/Downloads/xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run".
and if i click yes
Installing mime type handlers isn't supported
To search and install software which can open certain file types you have to install app-install-data.
can anyone tell me what the problem is and how i might fix it?
you need to execute the file (e.g. open a terminal, navigate to your Downloads folder and run bash xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run (possibly it might need to be run otherwise, but thats my best guess)).
alternatively you might be presented to run/execute the file (instead of displaying it). if so, choose this option.
on the other hand, you might consider installing apache/php/mysql via your package manager.
what you can do is that you can use the chmod +x /your folder location/.run file that you want to install
after that you can run following command
./and your .run file name
example:-
in my case :- User#user~$su root
it will ask for password so give it
User#user~chmod +x /Downloads/xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run
User#user~./xampp-linux-x64-1.8.3-0-installer.run
