jq command not found after adding jq executable
installing jq on git bash
My usecase is more similar with above shared references. I tried to execute a hook that needs to parse a json file. When hook gets executed it throws bash: jq:command not found error. So. I downloaded jq-win64.exe file and copied it to /usr/bin in Git folder. Then from git-bash I run export PATH=$PATH:"/C/Program Files/Git/usr/bin/jq-win64.exe" command and there is no error but when I checked jq --version command it still shows bash: jq:command not found error
Am I missing something? I even tried in windows cmd but is of no use. Hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance!!!
PATH contains directories. That means what you should do:
Rename jq-win64.exe to jq.exe or just jq. (e.g. cp ~/Downloads/jq-win64.exe /usr/bin/jq).
You don't have to export your path, /usr/bin is already part of it.
If you didn't rename the file to jq (or jq.exe), then you would have to run it as jq-win64 in your console.
You could also put the binary into ~/bin folder, which should be part of PATH too. If it isn't, you can add it. Then you don't need to mess with your global binaries folder.

I was trying to deploy my application on Ubuntu 16.04. So i made a package with the following hierarchy -
Package
|
----bin
|
-----application
-----application.sh
-----Qt
|
-----necessary qt libraries
-----platforms
Here is the application.sh file -
#!/bin/sh
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/Qt
./application
When i execute the application.sh file, it shows me that it cant find the libQt5MultimediaWidgets.so.5 file. But its in the Qt folder. Also when i print the ldd application from the application.sh file after exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH it gives me following output -
Please check the marked parts. Can anyone please explain why the libraries from the Qt folder are not found even after exporting the LD_LIBARRY_PATH?
Edit:
So as suggested by #Zang, i have checked the debug log and here it is -
Please check the marked parts.
It seems like its actually trying the actual libQt5MultimediaWidgets.so and then report that its unable to find it. Can anyone please help me understand whats happening here?
Edit-2: As per suggestion from #Tarun, i have ran ls -al on my Qt folder. Here is the output -
All files in Your Qt directory are actually simlinks to non-existing files in the same directory, therefore they cannot be found.
If you look at the output of your ls -al
These are soft links that you have. Your softlink libQt5MultimediaWidgets.so.5 points to libQt5MultimediaWidgets.so.5.9.2 in the same directory and the file is not there at all. So you need to either set the correct softlink path or have the file in same directory
First
Could it be that the pwd is not where you assume it is?
You could try adding
# Figure out where the application.sh script is located
scriptpath="$( cd "$(dirname "$0")" ; pwd -P )"
# Make sure our pwd is that location
cd "$scriptpath"
in the top of your script (assumes bash shell, from here)
By doing this all relative paths to Qt folder will be valid.
Second
Maybe you should considder exporting your new LD_LIBRARY_PATH, like so (from here):
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=whatever
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Third
It may be useful to run ldconfig command for ld to update after changing the variable (from here):
sudo ldconfig
The file libQt5MultimediaWidgets.so is not present in /Desktop/package/bin/Qt according to the screenshots shown.
In the following:
Roberts-MacBook-Pro:Code robertnash$ mkdir Flag
Roberts-MacBook-Pro:Code robertnash$ cd Flag/
Roberts-MacBook-Pro:Flag robertnash$ swift package init --type executable
Roberts-MacBook-Pro:Flag robertnash$ swift build
Compile Swift Module 'Flag' (1 sources)
Linking ./.build/debug/Flag
In order to execute the executable, it must be a path, like so
Roberts-MacBook-Pro:Flag robertnash$ .build/debug/Flag
Hello, world!
If I go to where 'Flag' is located, the command cannot be run by simply typing 'Flag'.
Roberts-MacBook-Pro:Flag robertnash$ cd .build
Roberts-MacBook-Pro:.build robertnash$ cd debug
Roberts-MacBook-Pro:debug robertnash$ Flag
-bash: Flag: command not found
It must be a path, like so.
Roberts-MacBook-Pro:debug robertnash$ ./Flag
Why is that ?
If you run export PATH="$PATH:." then it will add the current working directory to your path and you won't need the ./ prefix. (Most (all?) shells accept just a trailing colon without the dot, but I find it's more explicit about what it does.)
This isn't present by default because it is a security risk: a malicious script could be named as something missing from your path, like nmap or even as a typo like sl, and placed in a directory in the hopes that you run it. Forcing you to prefix ./ is a good way of avoiding that.
I am trying to understand the working of "make" command (just started on this command). I have an ".sh" file which has a script to execute "make" command as shown below:
source /somepath/environment-setup-cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi
make arch=arm toolchainPrefix=arm-poky-linux-gnueabi- xeno=off mode=Debug all
The directory where the script file is located has a file named "makefile". but there is nothing specified in the script file above regarding this "makefile". After executing the script file, all the script withing "makefile" is executed automatically. Can someone explain the working of "make xyz all" command in few words.
Thanks
As often with UNIX systems the command works to some degree by conventions. make (the GNU version of make at least) will search the working directory for files called GNUmakefile, makefile, and Makefile in that order or you can use the -f (or --file) option to give it a specific file.
I am trying to run a programme on a debain dedi. Using the following code.
java -cp bin:lib/* rs.Server false 43594
However it gives me a file not found error (even though the files are present). I fixed this error in intellij by picking the $MODULE_DIR$ option. Is there a equivalent to this in unix terminals?
The problem looks to be that the directory your are in when you run the command is wrong. You either need to cd to the directory containing the bin and lib directories or specify the full path to the directories in the command line.
I have the following script
#!/usr/bin/Rscript
print ("shebang works")
in a file called shebang.r. When I run it from command line using Rscript it works
$ Rscript shebang.r
but when I run it from the command line alone
$ shebang.r
It doesn't work. shebang.r command not found.
If I type (based on other examples I've seen)
$ ./shebang.r
I get permission denied.
Yes, Rscript is located in /usr/bin directory
Make the file executable.
chmod 755 shebang.r
In addition to Sjoerd's answer... Only the directories listed in the environment variable PATH are inspected for commands to run. You need to type ./shebang.r (as opposed to just shebang.r) if the current directory, known as ., is not in your PATH.
To inspect PATH, type
echo $PATH
To add . to PATH, type
export PATH="$PATH:."
You can add this line to your ~/.bashrc to make it happen automatically if you open a new shell.
