Add FAQ entry about finding the wrong command version #64

Open kadler opened 3 years ago

kadler commented 3 years ago

We periodically get users accidentally running OPS versions of software instead of rpm versions and confused about why they see that. This is also a problem when sometimes it works from SSH, but gets different results in QP2TERM/QSH.

We should add a FAQ entry to describe this problem and the solution (ie. link to https://ibmi-oss-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/troubleshooting/SETTING_PATH.html)

Probably a couple FAQ entries are in order - one for python3 and one for node/npm. It's possible we could add a third for OPS tools, but the big ones we seem to get is customers trying to run their python or node apps and getting the wrong versions.

For node, this is mostly fixed now with nodever setting /QOpenSys/usr/bin/node -> /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/node, but it still might help to add a FAQ entry for it. We have no similar change for Python 3, though.
