Not issue but clarify question

[cleargoal]

I am forced to write here because this repo doesn't have a 'discussions' tab.

In the doc there is the sentence:

Then copy the actual handler to your $PATH and make it executable.

Please explain what the actual handler is in this mention.

Thank you!

Then copy the actual handler to your $PATH and make it executable.

Instead of "Then copy" there should be "Or copy" because it's the 3rd alternative and it describes this operation:

cp phpstorm-url-handler /usr/bin/phpstorm-url-handler
chmod +x /usr/bin/phpstorm-url-handler

Which will copy actual (handler) file phpstorm-url-handler to the /usr/bin/ directory and make it executable.

Thanks for your answer, but it is still not clear to me. Where is or would be the file phpstorm-url-handler?

Where is or would be the file phpstorm-url-handler?

That's the main file in this repository: https://github.com/sanduhrs/phpstorm-url-handler/blob/master/phpstorm-url-handler Notice: to work it requires phpstorm to be available in your system $PATH or as an alias.

It's a simple bash script and it's code should be self explanatory.

Thank you for the help! I'm very appreciate it!

This is my PATH /home/yefrem/.nvm/versions/node/v20.12.2/bin:/home/yefrem/.local/share/pnpm:/home/yefrem/.local/bin:/home/yefrem/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/home/yefrem/.composer/vendor/bin:::::: /opt/PhpStorm-233.11799.297/bin:/opt/PhpStorm-233.11799.297/bin

Does it look correct?

I added phpStorm by this line in bashrc export PATH="$PATH:/opt/PhpStorm-233.11799.297/bin"

One more question. This package has no installation command. So, do I need simply to put phpstorm-url-handler into the /usr/bin/ directory?

Yes, apart from few empty entries and duplicated /opt/PhpStorm-233.11799.297/bin - which are probably caused by putting $PATH in .bashrc.

Move your $PATH to the end of ~/.profile without export, like so:

PATH="/opt/PhpStorm-233.11799.297/bin:$PATH"

Notice: order in $PATH matters and whatever is first, will be executed first.

That's correct, if you want it to be available for the entire system.

Actually, you can put it wherever you want and simply add the directory to $PATH. I suggest storing custom executables in your home directory like ~/bin so it doesn't get deleted during a system upgrade and is usually added automatically to $PATH if that directory exists. Here is a part of ~/.profile responsible for that:

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi

If it doesn't work (don't forget to open new bash session or relog), just add it to your $PATH:

PATH="/opt/PhpStorm-233.11799.297/bin:$HOME/bin:$PATH"
