installation instructions #18

Closed mathematicalmichael closed 5 years ago

mathematicalmichael commented 5 years ago

checked #12 and ran all instructions as per the README. I got no responses after any of the commands (go get / go install), and the software doesn't appear to be installed at all. (I installed all three dependencies with brew as well)

Are you sure the binaries that Go builds are in your path?

Test this by typing go env in the terminal. Look at the GOPATH entry in the data listed. Go to the bin subdirectory of whatever location is listed. Are the binaries there?

Now type echo $PATH in the terminal. You path must include this bin directory if you want to access the binaries without specifying their full path on the command line. If you are using vim, then either you can (a) modify $PATH to include this directory; or (b) modify the example vimscript to give the full path to each executable in the system(...) statement.

Let me know if this resolves the problem (note that this is a general property of any Go install, not peculiar to fzf-bibtex).

I haven't heard back, so I'm guessing that this issue should be closed? Please let me know if it hasn't been resolved.

Oh, my bad! Thank you for pinging me again. Just saw this email (wish github had a better homescreen for notifs). Ill test it today and follow up!

mathematicalmichael commented 5 years ago

The binaries are inside GOPATH PATH didn’t know of them, though. after adding them, bibtex-ls appears to now work! Thanks so much

Excellent! I'm delighted to hear this. I'm guessing that a similar PATH issue was responsible for https://github.com/msprev/fzf-bibtex/issues/12 too.
