[OSX 10.10] cannot find fink command after running Install Fink.tool #36

My machine cannot find fink after downloading the raw Install Fink.tool. I don't know if restarting will fix is, but I cannot restart easily now. How can I enable the fink command?

Install Fink.tool is a executable script, if you do not run it, nothing will happen.

Once it is run, you will need to reopen any terminal windows besides the one you run Install Fink.tool from for fink or anything installed by it to be picked up.

I ran Install Fink.tool however, opening a new terminal window does not fix the issue.

Did you run /sw/bin/pathsetup.sh ? The fink bootstrap should have instructed you to do that.

jdmswong commented 8 years ago

running that command and opening a new window worked! I looked over the last few lines of the fink install script, but guess I missed that nugget

dak180 commented 8 years ago

@akhansen Install Fink.tool should do that just before it runs selfupdate for the first time.

dak180 commented 8 years ago

@jdmswong the Install Fink.tool script is meant to automate the process of setting up fink for the first time; running the commands in the script manually mostly defeats the purpose of it.

jdmswong commented 8 years ago

I don't think it did, since I posted this issue after Install Fink.tool completed execution. I would post the logs but no longer have them
