BinEnv is unable to find binaries in global mode.

[heavyblack1]

I installed binenv according to your system-wide installation instructions. And also add echo "export BINENV_GLOBAL=true" >> .bashrc and exec $SHELL.

I tried running sudo bat, and it didn't work.

2023-02-07T12:41:26+01:00 INF updating distribution list
2023-02-07T12:41:26+01:00 ERR no versions found for distribution "bat" (from bat). Something is really odd.
2023-02-07T12:41:26+01:00 FTL binenv: unable to find proper version for bat ()

After some digging, I returned from system-wide installation to the main readme.md and found the missing answer to my problem.

sudo env "PATH=$PATH" "HOME=$HOME" bat

2023-02-07T13:04:15+01:00 ERR no versions found for distribution "bat" (from bat). Something is really odd.

But even this didn't solve issue.

Is this a bug? Or I didn't understand your guide?

Thanks for help

Can you confirm that bat installaion went well with binenv install -g bat ?

Did you try sudo env "PATH=$PATH" "HOME=$HOME" "BINENV_GLOBAL=true" bat ?

Could you also try sudo -E bat also ?

I looked in to history. Yes i specified -g option.  This command work

sudo env "PATH=$PATH" "HOME=$HOME" "BINENV_GLOBAL=true" bat ./binenv_install.sh

Even this worked

sudo "BINENV_GLOBAL=true" bat ./binenv_install.sh

This also worked

sudo -E bat ./binenv_install.sh

Should I put this into alias into .bashrc or is there something easier?

Thanks for your time
