I am new at Linux and I am facing a problem. I am trying to add the bin directory to the PATH in the Linux executing the command below:
$ export PATH="/opt/gcc-arm/bin:$PATH"However, when I try to execute a command it returns me it was not found
Command 'arm-none-eabi-gcc' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install gcc-arm-none-eabi
How could I add this directory to Linux PATH or there is a way to access the User variables from Windows using the Linux?
Edit1: I just run $PATH and I got this:
bash: /opt/gcc-arm/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/mnt/c/Program:
The Path to the file that I created is there (/opt/gcc-arm/bin), but I do not understand why the system cannot recognize it.
Edit2: I executed the command suggested by @steeldriver
what is the result of
file /opt/gcc-arm/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc run
The result is: /opt/gcc-arm/bin/arm-none-eabi-gcc: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/l, for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=7af6e16f1d030393cdf4a6e6007a0e554470f126, stripped. But I have no idea what it means.
Edit3: Now the things start to work, first I use the command sudo -s and then
$ export PATH="/opt/gcc-arm/bin:$PATH".
After doing that I was able to run the commands from that PATH, however, when I close the Linux env and open again, it can not recognize those commands, so I have to include the PATH again. Is there some solution to avoid entering the PATH every time when I reopen the Linux?
Edit4: I followed this tutorial from Youtube Linux: Permanently set environment variables, now my PATH is permanent.
I hope this can help someone else that face this same problem
