I was trying to install dart2 recently, but when I try to install pub global activate stagehand, it comes with a warning.

Warning: Pub installs executables into $HOME/.pub-cache/bin, which is not on your path.

You can fix that by adding this to your shell's config file (.bashrc, .bash_profile, etc.):

export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"

so i went to my .bash_profile file and added the above, and the file looks like this:

export PATH=/users/kevinau/dart/flutter/bin:$PATH
export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"

but then I run webdev and the command is still not found.

can anyone walk me thru how to fix this?

I tried echo $PATH and return the below:

/users/myspace/dart/flutter/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/sbin/.pub-cache/bin

but how do I fix it?

I have just run the following command in my cmd

export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"

then I again run the command dart pub global activate fvm and the error is gone. In my case, I am having the error during installing fvm package.

Edit zshrc file using vim on terminal

vim ~/.zshrc

or

vim ~/.bashrc

edit data on zshrc after pressing "i" on keyboard. Export flutter location, aqueduct location and dart sdk location

export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/Development/flutter/bin"
export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/Development/flutter/.pub-cache/bin"
export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/Development/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin"

After editing press "esc" key ~:wq for saving Check working of aqueduct using

aqueduct --version

or

aqueduct serve

Add dart-sdk path to .bash_profile

export PATH="$PATH:`pwd`/flutter/bin"
export PATH="$PATH:`pwd`/bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin"
export PATH="$PATH:`pwd`/.pub-cache/bin"

If you’re a mac user Just do the following: In any system folder, you can go to home directory via command+shift+h In home directory, you need to edit .bashrc file, but it’s hidden, use command+Shift+. To unhide. Now, you can edit file and add this code to finish line:

export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"

Congratulations your problem has been solved

For Windows

Add C:\flutter\.pub-cache\bin into your system variable path

For Unix-based system:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.pub-cache/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

I was setting my global environment variables after that warning on Window 10 pc but it was still giving me warning that your variable is not set even after I set all variables in environment variable settings

So I Simply restart my windows , it took some time for updating then after my pc starts. I ran this command "dart pub global activate protoc_plugin" and boom waning was gone

Sometimes windows do not get variables when they are set in present boot state so reloading boot (restarting windows) resolves the error

pub global activate webdev

    Do you have the Dart SDK installed? You can't use the Dart SDK included in Flutter for web development. – Günter Zöchbauer Oct 13 '18 at 15:34
  • "and the command is still not found." is also not very helpful. Please add the full and exact error message to your question. – Günter Zöchbauer Oct 13 '18 at 15:35
  • yes I have the Dart SDK installed, but how I do I differentiate Flutter's Dart SDK and Dart for Web SDK?. – Kevin Oct 13 '18 at 15:49
  • When I type command webdev, it returns -bash: webdev: command not found – Kevin Oct 13 '18 at 15:49
  • Is there a file `webdev` in `$HOME/.pub-cache/bin`? Did `pub global activate webdev` succeed or did it cause an error? – Günter Zöchbauer Oct 13 '18 at 15:54
  • yes there are both webdev and stagehand in $HOME/.pub-cache/bin – Kevin Oct 13 '18 at 16:08

    looks like there is something wrong with `$HOME`. Your path `.../sbin:/sbin/.pub-cache/bin` should be `/sbin:/users/kevinau/.pub-cache/bin`. Also your path starts with `/users/myspace/dart/flutter/bin:` and as mentioned the `flutter` SDK doesn't work with web programming. Also in path you have `/users/myspace`, but in the command in your question you use `/users/kevinau/`. – Günter Zöchbauer Oct 13 '18 at 16:17
