zsh: command not found: bundle (after gem install bundle)

Question

Why zsh: command not found: bundle after gem install bundler?

I tried setting path=( /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.2/gems/ ~/bin /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin ) in /etc/zshrc and source /etc/zshrc to no avail.

If someone googling gets this error: I solved it just closing and opening the tab again. It was an issue related with deploying on Heroku. — hcarreras, Apr 30 '15 at 10:30

I had the same issue using zsh and this fixed it:

$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshenv
$ echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.zshenv
$ echo 'source $HOME/.zshenv' >> ~/.zshrc
$ exec $SHELL

You seem to be after installing bundler system-wide. To do this, you need to pass --no-user-install flag to gem and execute it with sudo:

sudo gem install bundler --no-user-install

After this, you should see bundle in /usr/bin/ just fine:

$ ls /usr/bin/bundle
/usr/bin/bundle*

I thought you should avoid using sudo on gems, but maybe with --no-user-install flag its for multi user installation – Henrik Bøgelund Lavstsen Aug 29 '16 at 11:34

You can check the directory in which Rubygems will install gem executables with gem environment.

One of the first points should be EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY. Make sure this directory is in your $PATH (listed as SHELL PATH btw)

This is weird... have you verified the binary actually IS PRESENT in the directory? – mhutter Jan 21 '15 at 16:48

Indeed, running `/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.2/gems/bundler-1.7.12/bin/bundle` seems to work. – Mark Boulder Jan 21 '15 at 16:57
The Binary should also be present in `EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /usr/local/bin` - is it? – mhutter Jan 21 '15 at 17:12
Ooh - it's there as `bundle22` :) – Mark Boulder Jan 21 '15 at 17:14
Do I have to manually symlink all of the binaries or is there a better way? – Mark Boulder Jan 21 '15 at 17:18
Hm usually rubygems should create it correctly (as `bundle` and not `bundle22`)... But to be honest I have no idea what could have caused this :) – mhutter Jan 21 '15 at 17:22

You shound run the below command after installed bundler:

rbenv rehash

Also just ran into the same error when setting up jekyll. My gem env shows GEM PATHS as follows:

- GEM PATHS:
    - /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0

The content of this directory looks like this:

bin/            cache/          extensions/     specifications/
build_info/     doc/            gems/

Inside bin, I see both jekyll and bundle:

$cd /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/bin/
$ls
bundle        jekyll        listen        safe_yaml     sass-convert
bundler       kramdown      rougify       sass          scss

If you find similar paths and files as I do, any one of the following approaches should work:

Append the full path /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/bin/ to PATH via:
```
export PATH="/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/bin/:$PATH"
```

Make symbolic links in /usr/local/bin via:

$cd /usr/local/bin
$ln -sf /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/bin/bundle .
$ln -sf /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/bin/jekyll .

Set up aliases in .zshrc (or .bashrc and alike):

alias jekyll="/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/bin/jekyll"
alias bundle="/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/bin/bundle"

In general, I felt all this path blindness makes the experience of setting up a jekyll site bumpier than expected:( If others have a set of steps that just work (without such needs for troubleshooting), please comment :)
