I installed through the main page https://nxadm.github.io/rakudo-pkg/ adding the deb repository to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rakudo-pkg.list and then installing rakudo-pkg

I fixed my paths, but didn't reboot. zef isn't working as seen below. Not sure what I did wrong.

kanliot@maleday:/opt/rakudo-pkg/bin$ zef --help
===SORRY!===

Did you perhaps mean one of these?

Hi,

kanliot@maleday:/opt/rakudo-pkg/bin$ zef --help lookes for zef in the $PATH.

If you want to use the root zef (probably not what you want): /opt/rakudo-pkg/bin/zef --help

If you want to use the zef in your $HOME, ~/.perl6/bin shoud be in your PATH, I suppose it isn't: can you do the command below and verify the directory is there? sh echo $PATH

If not, you need to add it the .profile (or an other shell init), e.g.:

PATH=~/.perl6/bin:/opt/rakudo-pkg/bin:/opt/rakudo-pkg/share/perl6/site/bin:$PATH
export PATH

sh -c 'echo $PATH'   #returns normally 

PATH=~/.perl6/bin:/opt/rakudo-pkg/bin:/opt/rakudo-pkg/share/perl6/site/bin:$PATH
export PATH

Yeah. above fixes it. Not sure what I did wrong, but thank you. I'm 99% sure it was my error.

also there's this line in my ~/.profile:
PATH=~/.perl6/bin:.:/opt/rakudo-pkg/share/perl6/site/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

why did . get added to the path? I think it was /opt/rakudo-pkg/bin/add-rakudo-to-path that added ..

If you like I can create a separate "issue" for the . problem.

Thank you kindly for your help nxadm.

i believe this is the problem: BINDIR="$(dirname $0)" in the above-mentioned file. The variable BINDIR will change depending on which directory you run the above-mentioned file from.

Again, thanks nxadm.
