I am trying to install modman.

First I install via:

bash < <(curl -s -L https://raw.github.com/colinmollenhour/modman/master/modman-installer)

modman is created at User/Username/bin/modman

I got lost on the next part: 

source ~/.profile

I don't have .profile in my directory, so i created one in my user root and I added 

export PATH=$PATH:/Users/Username/bin/modman

I am not sure if that is correct, when I cd to my project directory and do modman init it returns modman: command not found

Why am I getting this message?

You add directories to PATH, not individual binaries.

export PATH=$PATH:/Users/Username/bin

Note the line from the installer that would have updated .profile for you:

echo -e '\nPATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"' >> $HOME/.profile

(Typically, you might add $HOME/bin to the beginning of the path so that you can override system binaries, but in your case, it doesn't matter since you don't have modman installed outside your home directory.)

  • thank you so much, I never done anything like it, and don't even know where to start after much googling. – aahhaa Aug 03 '15 at 19:44
