Unison command not found - homebrew

Recently my Unison application has stopped working on my Mac terminal saying the command cannot be found. Not sure if this was the reason but I recently reinstalled brew (which is how it was installed), which may have broken it.
Here is the error output:
mac:~ Imran$ unison sites
-bash: unison: command not found
I can see that if I locate unison unison is found in the following directories:
> /Users/Imran/unison.log /Users/Imran/unison.tar.gz
> /usr/local/Cellar/unison /usr/local/Cellar/unison/2.40.102
> /usr/local/Cellar/unison/2.40.102/COPYING

> /usr/local/Library/LinkedKegs/unison /usr/local/bin/unison
> /usr/local/opt/unison /usr/share/zsh/5.3/functions/_unison
Can someone help me get this working again? I suspect its something to do with the link to the app being broken.

If you've done a reinstall of a brew cask, you may need to manually link it again if it can't be found on your path
brew link unison

I had the same issue when trying to use Unison from Windows to Mac (where it has been installed with Brew).
You can give an explicit path for the unison executable on the server by using the command-line option
-servercmd /full/path/name/of/unison
or adding
servercmd=/full/path/name/of/unison
to your profile
Source

According to the documentation the error message bash: unison: command not found means:
Make sure Unison is installed on the host you are trying to connect to.

For anyone running into this error on macOS:
If you're using zsh (or running a newer macOS version where zsh is the default) you have to modify or create ~/.zshenv.
Add your path to the shell environment by adding one of the following snippets to ~/.zshenv.
For ARM64 (M1 Macs):
eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)
or on x86 (Intel Macs)
eval $(/usr/local/bin/brew shellenv)
or you simply source your zshrc:
source ~/.zshrc

Your user's PATH variable does not include a link to the unison binary.
Add /usr/local/Cellar/unison/2.40.102/bin/unison to your .bashrc,
$ vi ~/.bashrc
add the following,
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/Cellar/unison/2.40.102/bin/unison
save and quit, and then re-read your users bashrc file,
exec bash
Now try which unison again, or actually just try running it with,
$ unison

Ghostscript installed but not found RGhost::Config::GS[:path]='/path/to/my/gs'

I've been trying for a few hours now solve this problem and I looked everywhere for a solution and I did not find one. I'm trying to run a spec test for my project and I have the following error coming up:
RuntimeError:
Ghostscript not found in your system environment (linux-gnu).
Install it and set the variable RGhost::Config::GS[:path] with the executable.
Example: RGhost::Config::GS[:path]='/path/to/my/gs' #unix-style
RGhost::Config::GS[:path]="C:\\gs\\bin\\gswin32c.exe" #windows-style
And I do try to put RGhost::Config::GS[:path]='/usr/local/bin/gs' and it returns:
bash: RGhost::Config::GS[:path]=/usr/local/bin/gs: No such file or directory
but ghostscript is installed, I did everything (make, sudo make install, etc etc) and when I run gs -v it returns:
GPL Ghostscript 9.26 (2018-11-20)
Copyright (C) 2018 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved.
When I use the user interface and search for "gs" in the "Files" application, it is found in /home/marcelle/projects/ghostscript-9.26/bin/gs and I also tried:
RGhost::Config::GS[:path]='/home/marcelle/projects/ghostscript-9.26/bin/gs'
and it returns the same error:
bash: RGhost::Config::GS[:path]=/home/marcelle/projects/ghostscript-9.26/bin/gs: No such file or directory
I also tried to delete ghostscript from my notebook with autoremove and purge and installed it again using what I mentioned before (./configure, make, sudo make install), restarted the notebook, the terminal and nothing.
PS: I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.
I managed to figure out a solution. Looking for the code for the Rghost, what I saw in its spec is that the path expected was different than the path the ghostscript really is.
When I run whereis or which on my terminal, it returns:
which gs
/usr/local/bin/gs
So I was trying to point to this path. But seeing the spec test for Rghost which I found on github for Rghost, we can see that it expects /usr/bin/gs:
it 'should detect linux env properly' do
RbConfig::CONFIG.should_receive(:[]).twice.with('host_os').and_return('linux')
File.should_receive(:exists?).with('/usr/bin/gs').and_return(true)
RGhost::Config.config_platform
RGhost::Config::GS[:path].should == '/usr/bin/gs'
end
So it expects /usr/bin and not /usr/local/bin.
Then I just copied to that path and the spec ran with no problems anymore:
sudo cp /usr/local/bin/gs /usr/bin
I've no experience with Ruby at all, but I also got this error when using asciidoctor, which uses rghost for the PDF generation.
The command RGhost::Config::GS[:path]='/path/to/my/gs' mentioned in the error is not a shell command, which is why bash couldn't handle it. However, to me it wasn't immediately clear what to do with this command either. I expected an easy way to set this variable somewhere, but couldn't find it.
What worked for me was searching the rghost.rb file, which is where this variable is set and can be changed. In Windows, it was located in C:\Ruby30-x64\lib\ruby\gems\3.0.0\gems\rghost-0.9.7\lib\rghost.rb.
In this file, I added the following line, which solved the problem:
RGhost::Config::GS[:path]="C:\\Program Files\\gs\\gs9.55.0\\bin\\gswin64c.exe"
NB: the mentioned paths can be different for everyone, so make sure to use that paths that are valid for your system.

Windows doesn't recognize Docker command

I already installed Docker for windows. when I type docker --version command in Command prompt, it doesn't recognize it at all.
The message will be this:
'docker' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Did I miss something ?
I had installed Docker 18.06.1-ce version on my Windows 10 machine and faced the similar issue, even though the docker was added the Windows %PATH%.
I moved the docker path to the bottom and that solved my problem.
I restarted the system, it worked, maybe we can say that a restart is required.
You need to start the docker first if you have not and then open powershell.
In the powershell, try to run docker commands.
I installed docker Docker version 19.03.13 build 4484c46d9d, in Windows 10 pro 1903.
I was facing the same issue, then I just renamed 'com.docker.cli' to 'docker' and set the environment variable to 'C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin'
Problem Resolved.
Refer the image:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DpW2DR2n_jCGezwrXuhNtXpSTBWmEDJk/view?usp=sharing
Renaming 'com.docker.cli' to 'docker' helped me finally get windows powershell and cmd terminals to recognize the docker command.
Add docker to PATH variable & refreshenv to keep using the same command prompt
If you've installed using docker toolbox the install path "C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox"
Manually using Environmental Variable > Path (add docker path here)
Using Command Line
For temporary use set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox
Make sure to take a back up of PATH by echo %PATH% before doing this
For permanent change setx PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox
docker: command not found
Windows 7: Just set the path of docker in system variable
Step:1
[Click on path -> edit-> paste the docker location]
Step:2 [Paste the docker location]
In my case C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox.
now check $ docker version
Make sure the docker.exe path (C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin) is added to the PATH variable.
You can check it as follows:
ECHO %PATH%
The docker path had to be appended at the end of the PATH in my case. After that docker cmd was recognized.
Run as administrator worked for me, both powershell and bash on windows. I did not need to restart.
I checked environment variables and noticed that docker path is as the following path in which "R" in resources uppercase. I fixed the case and everything worked as expected
Path: "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin"
Just Restart the system, it is always good practice to restart the system when you install or uninstall any application. Hope this works :)
For those who are facing docker issue on VS Code
I was trying on VS Code Terminal after installation. Restarted and was still facing issue.
Then I tried with fresh terminal of Command Prompt -- it worked!
After that it also working fine on vs code.
In VS Code - close all terminals and open fresh terminal
and try test command:
docker --version
2022 - Windows 11
Add these paths to the PATH variable.
C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin
C:\ProgramData\DockerDesktop\version-bin
Docker PATH variable Windows 11:
You need to restart the system after installation. It worked for me.
Try to install GIT bash and then run this command on it for Windows:
base=https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.16.0 &&
mkdir -p "$HOME/bin" &&
curl -L $base/docker-machine-Windows-x86_64.exe > "$HOME/bin/docker-machine.exe" &&
chmod +x "$HOME/bin/docker-machine.exe"
Click Here.
there is some issues with PowerShell or new version of docker due to which I was facing the same issue but then I went to this page and got way to run it.
PS: GIT bash is required.
If you have installed Docker Toolbox in your windows, go and add the environment variable.
PATH = "location of folder that contains docker-machine"
I also face a problem with the installation and running docker. I'm not sure you how did you install docker. I tried this way. I've downloaded the docker toolbox (https://github.com/docker/toolbox/releases) which comes up with docker,docker-machine. Oracle Virtual box which is pretty much enough to start docker locally.Please make sure you have git bash installed in your local. Once the toolbox installation is done click the icon generated on the desktop . Make sure this icon target to your Git bash.exe (you can verify this by right click on icon and find target). and verify docker version
For me, I had to ensure the check box Enable Hyper-V Windows Features is checked as I was installing.
I just wanted to have client installed, without the engine. So earlier, as I was installing, I unchecked that option. And after successful installation, I get the error - windows does not recognize docker.
But now that reinstalled with the checkbox checked, things are working fine now.
I noticed that running docker commands before startup causes this issue, but ensuring that docker is running and executing the commands after, they are then recognised.
I facing the same issue when I try to run docker -v in Vscode Terminal after install it. I try to use cmd and git bash it work fine. Restart your vscode will solve it
Unfortunately, After many tries and restarts, I uninstalled docker and Re-installed it again, and I had to build all things again.
I faced the same problem, them I tried in Powershell which works someHo
Download "docker-machine-Windows-x86_64.exe" from: https://github.com/docker/machine/releases
Rename "docker-machine-Windows-x86_64.exe" to "docker-machine.exe".
Copy "docker-machine.exe" to path C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin.
just add this path in your "Path" inside env variables inside windows
C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin
then restart your gitbash or cmd or ...
everything goes well after that !
*just add in your environmental Path this syntax if you did like (install docker in c drive) me, most probably it would work, for me, this passed well.
(note: if you going to call RefreshEnv.cmd or RefreshEnv
through your CMC with Chocolatey, this path would not be created for you, and you have to do it manualy in Windows 10 operating system).
C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin
In my case, I switched to the windows command prompt instead of the VScode terminal.

-bash: pg_dump: command not found

I'm trying to pull a production database locally for my rails app. My local postgres version was too low so I needed to update to Postgresql 9.6.5 from 9.4.1.
I installed Postgres 9.6.6 via Homebrew as such:
brew install postgresql#9.6
Then ran:
brew services start postgresql#9.6
However, when I try to do pg_dump I get -bash: pg_dump: command not found.
I also tried updating my path as such:
export PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql\#9.6/9.6.6/bin:$PATH"
Any idea what I need to do to get pg_dump to work?
Adding this to my ~/.bash_profile did the trick:
export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql\#9.6/9.6.6/bin:$PATH
For those who have this issue on Mac even though Postgres path is correctly added on your .bash_profile I found that running pg_dump directly from the Terminal does the job.
Just open your Terminal and type:
pg_dump -U username your_database > db_dump.bak
I tried the ff approach and I got the same error:
sudo su - postgres
pg_dump -U username your_database > db_dump.bak
bash: pg_dump: command not found
If you installed PostgreSQL by pgadmin4 in Mac, you could find the pg tool in
/Library/PostgreSQL/{version}/bin/
Couldn't get path to work in Cygwin but could browse to my pg bin directory (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.6\bin) and run it directly from there.
For windows what worked for me is to add the Postgres to global vars from env, not ~/.bash_profile,
Go to Edit the system environment variables
Then Environement variables
Then Path then add the location of bin of postgres in my case C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\14\bin\
Click ok on each open window
Close and reopen your visual code
Run your command
See Setting Windows PATH for Postgres tools for more details

'Zsh: command not found: valet' - unable to install Valet

I just tried installing valet for a very long time, - and I couldn't find any help anywhere. No matter what I tried, then it kept saying:
Zsh: command not found: valet
I'm running Zshell (instead of Bash) and OSX. I've had Brew installed for quite a while.
I'll answer this myself, - so hopefully people in the same situation can find this in the future.
I had a very similar problem under Zsh, but my solution was easier. Rather than adding ~/.composer/vendor/bin to my $PATH, I needed to use the full directory name; i.e., /Users/[your-user-name]/.composer/vendor/bin.
Everywhere it says to 'Check that your path is right'. And yup - if you haven't done that, then you should start there. The easiest way is to go to your terminal and write:
echo $PATH
... And then you should see ~/.composer/vendor/bin in between two colons in there. If that isn't there, then you should go to your ~/.bashrc-file (or ~/.zshrc-file) and add this line:
export $PATH=~/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH
And then it may be fixed.
My problem had deeper roots, though. Even though my path was right, then I still got the error:
Zsh: command not found: valet
And if I wrote: which valet - then it (obviously) just responded with valet not found.
Removal of Composer
What fixed it was to remove all my composer-installations. Composer can be located in several different locations (and installed by brew). So in order to remove it, then do this (inspired by this post, but it lacks a couple of steps):
Remove your composer- or -composer.phar-file. You can find them by running which composer and/or which composer.phar.
Remove your .composer-folder (usually located here: ~/.composer).
Then make sure that there isn't an installation done with Homebrew (this was what I think made the collision for me). You do it by running brew unlink composer followed by brew remove composer.
Then, - if you want to be 100% sure that it's all gone, then go to your root (cd /) and run this command: find ./* -name 'composer.phar' and this find ./* -name 'composer'. That should tell you of all the locations where the Composer-installation can be installed.
When all that's removed, then you should be rid of Composer (entirely).
... Then install it again, - and see if you can get valet to work (it did for me).
The solution was adding composer bin to the path. You can use the following commands
From the terminal
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin"' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
valet install
Issue Ubuntu: no command valet
Valet on Ubuntu:
sudo apt install libnss3-tools jq xsel
composer global require cpriego/valet-linux
.composer/vendor/cpriego/valet-linux/valet install
Now command valet should work, but if still not:
sudo cp .composer/vendor/cpriego/valet-linux/valet /usr/local/bin/

Docker: Looks something went wrong in step Looking for vboxmanage.exe

I just installed Docker Toolbox on my windows 7 machine.
After installing I run the Docker Quickstart terminal which displays the following message:
Looks something went wrong in step nLooking for vboxmanage.exen... Press any key to continue....
Anyone here who knows how to solve this?
Regards,
The same thing happened to me. At this moment I am using Windows Home.
At least in my case, what happened was that the environment variables DOCKER_MACHINE and DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH were not created for the system.
I just had to add them and it worked.
Solved the problem by cleaning my .bashrc file.
More specific, i removed the cd , which makes perfectly sense.
For me, the problem was that the DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALLPATH was only set for the user used to escalate priviligies at installation. When I run Docker Quickstart as my regular user, the DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALLPATH variable is empty, producing the error.
Setting DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALLPATH system wide solved the problem.
I'm Windows 8.1 user, I got the same problem when I installing the Docker Toolbox.
Because I have a previous version of VirtualBox installed, so I uncheck the VirtualBox install option in the Docker Toolbox installer.
After the install and I run Docker Quickstart terminal and get the same problem looks like something went wrong in step 'looking for vboxmanage.exe'.
Look at the file D:\Docker Toolbox\start.sh, there are some code fragment:
STEP="Looking for vboxmanage.exe"
if [ ! -z "$VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH" ]; then
VBOXMANAGE="${VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH}VBoxManage.exe"
else
VBOXMANAGE="${VBOX_INSTALL_PATH}VBoxManage.exe"
fi
The start.sh use $VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH and ${VBOX_INSTALL_PATH} Environment Variables to locate the VBoxManage.exe.
And I find my system variables VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH is
D:\VirtualBox
and then, I change it to
D:\VirtualBox\
It works fine!
Or maybe you miss the VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH/VBOX_INSTALL_PATH Environment Variables.
This is my first answer on stackoverflow, I hope this will help you! Finally forgive my poor english ):
For me, it helped to start Docker Quickstart Terminal with admin privileges.
This works if you do not have admin rights:
> Setx DOCKER_MACHINE "C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine.exe"
> Setx DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH "C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\\"
> Setx VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\\"
The double backslash in the end makes sure that the variable is saved with one backslash as last character, needed in C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\start.sh:
> echo %DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH%
C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\
Running docker as Administrator solved the problem for me.
I had the same issue.
Inside your toolbox installation folder you should be able to find the installers folder, there you'll find a setup.exe for a Oracle Virtual Box. Double click it, install it and you should be able to reopen the Docker Quickstart with no problems.
Hope this helps!
Cheers! :D
Simple solution: I thought I could just double click on it, but instead need to bring up a windows command prompt, CD to C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox , and type
sh start.sh
Due to the relative DOCKER_MACHINE path definition on L10, it seems that start.sh will only run when you are inside its directory. I fixed it by modifying the target of the "Docker Quickstart Terminal" shortcut as follows:
C:\Tools\Git\git-bash.exe -c "cd /c/tools/docker; ./start.sh"
Substitute the paths to GitBash and Docker Toolbox to match your installations. If your paths contain spaces, be sure to wrap them in quotes as usual. For example:
"C:\Tools\Git Bash\git-bash.exe" -c "cd '/c/tools/docker toolbox'; ./start.sh"
For context, I had GitBash and VirtualBox already installed before installing Docker Toolbox, so I deselected those options during its install. I'm sure that if I went with the default options, this issue wouldn't have happened. That's probably why some folks on GitHub suggest uninstalling VirtualBox and re-installing Docker Toolbox. Don't do that, it's almost certainly unnecessary.
Do you know how good an open-source program is?
You can actually investigate the issue yourselve, which could be way more precise.
please scroll the quickstart terminal up and see which error message you have got
open C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\start.sh (Where you install docker toolbox) with text editer, e.g. sublime text
and see the codes
if it is in step "looking for vboxmange.exe", it should be before STEP="Checking if machine $VM exists" and there are only 50 lines to read
As of 2018-11-27, the only two error that could be given in this step is from these lines, so investigate and find your error in it:
which are:
if [ ! -f "${DOCKER_MACHINE}" ]; then
echo "Docker Machine is not installed. Please re-run the Toolbox Installer and try again."
exit 1
fi
if [ ! -f "${VBOXMANAGE}" ]; then
echo "VirtualBox is not installed. Please re-run the Toolbox Installer and try again."
exit 1
fi
In which:
DOCKER_MACHINE="${DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH}\docker-machine.exe"
And
if [ ! -z "$VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH" ]; then
VBOXMANAGE="${VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH}VBoxManage.exe"
else
VBOXMANAGE="${VBOX_INSTALL_PATH}VBoxManage.exe"
fi
So, check your environmental variables and echo it.
In my case, the reason is that DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH is an admin user variable:
So, run the quickstart terminal as admin user or put the variable under System variable would do the work
I personally solved this issue by adding the following property to my env (Windows Env variables):
DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH=C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\
as pointed out by the start.sh script of the Docker Toolbox installation.
You can solve this reinstalling the VirtualBox, choosing repair mode.
C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\installers\virtualbox -> virtualbox.exe
enter image description here
After finished the process, restart you machine and smile!
For Windows 7 users:
Change value "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\" to "C:\Progra~1\Oracle\VirtualBox\" for VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH system variable in environment variables.
If you are running docker from admin cmd then just try to scroll up and you will get the error message, and then you can solve the issue.
For me the the error "Docker Machine is not installed. Please re-run the Toolbox Installer and try again."
But unfortunately reinstall did not solve the issue.
I also had this problem on Win 10 Home and I tried probably every solution from this topic but nothing works, only thing that worked for me was hardcoding Path to VBOX in start.sh.
So in start.sh in this part:
STEP="Looking for vboxmanage.exe"
if [ ! -z "$VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH" ]; then
VBOXMANAGE="${VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH}VBoxManage.exe"
else
VBOXMANAGE="${VBOX_INSTALL_PATH}VBoxManage.exe"
fi
I did this:
STEP="Looking for vboxmanage.exe"
if [ ! -z "$VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH" ]; then
VBOXMANAGE="C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe"
else
VBOXMANAGE="${VBOX_INSTALL_PATH}VBoxManage.exe"
fi
And this works very well.
I know that this solution(hardcoding path) isn't best possible but it's only one which worked for me, and I think that sometimes it's better to use bad solution which works than good one which didn't work
This happens when the user connects to some sort of secured networks using VPN, TLS machine certs gets messed up, upon restarting machine and regenerating TLS machine certs, docker toolbox is configured to use the default machine with IP 192.168.XX.XX
In windows 8.1, I solved the problem by just adding extra \ to the DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH environment variable.
Installer has created the user variable for admin as DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH=C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox
, but it should be
DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH=C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\
For people that installed docker with chocolatey you need to install VirtualBox separately from docker with choco install virtualbox and set environment variables as this
DOCKER_MACHINE == "C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine.exe"
DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH == "C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\"
VBOX_MSI_INSTALL_PATH == "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\"
don't forget to add \ at the end of the folders
I faced same issue on my Windows 7 machine and below steps has resolved the same
Went to C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\installers\virtualbox and doubleclick virtualbox.msi to install Oracle Virtual box. (Note : It will install andd ask permission for 3-4 more components, Grant them all)
Set up the Env Variables
DOCKER_MACHINE C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox\docker-machine.exe
DOCKER_TOOLBOX_INSTALL_PATH C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox
Restart the machine
Finally Open Docker Quickstart Terminal and give it some minutes (probably 5-10) to let it do the setup
I am having the same issue with the vboxmanage.exe upon running my docker toolbox.
I managed to solve the problem by installing virtualbox since I did not install virtualbox on my computer.
Might as well give it a try.
Docker Tool Box is not a standalone application. It has many other tools like Oracle Virtual Box, Git & docker engine itself.
./start.sh is seeking some existing configuration which might miss in the older version. I updated the GIT version from 2.0.x to 2.12.x & it works for me.
