Hey @Danjoe4,

During the first install you would have been instructed to source ~/.config/envman/PATH.env or to close and reopen your terminal (or, in the case of zsh, it must be sourced because zsh has shared login sessions).

That instruction only appears one time, because it is added to the PATH in such a way that future invocations of the script will detect it as present and not show the message again.

I do have planned to add this to the webpage as well.
