newbee issue with installation - tips welcome #702

Closed Mikester0981 closed 2 years ago

Mikester0981 commented 2 years ago

Linux Mikker 5.11.0-38-generic #42~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 28 20:41:07 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ ./install.sh --prefix=/home/Mikker/myprefix --build-boost --build-zmq --disable-shared

I'm doing everything according to the instructions, just I think I'm messing up something related to the correct "prefix". I cannot find guidance in the documentation or wiki so I'm reaching out here.

Should I use my name "Mikker" instead of "me" and choose a "myprefix" myself or should I make precisely these folders in advance? When running it like this: $ ./install.sh --prefix=/home/Mikker/myprefix --build-boost --build-zmq --disable-shared everything seems to install fine (~25min) but command $ bx does return bx: command not found

Any help or tips are welcome! Thanks a lot!

Since it was installed to /home/Mikker/myprefix, try something like:

$ /home/Mikker/myprefix/bin/bx

Or you could maybe do:

$ export PATH=/home/Mikker/myprefix/bin:$PATH
$ bx
