PHP Propel on macOS Sierra unable to create working symlink

Question

The manual of propel says:

In order to allow an easier execution of the script, you can also add the propel generator’s bin/ directory to your PATH, or create a symlink. For example:

$ cd myproject
$ ln -s vendor/bin/propel propel

If I do this, the symlink is created, but if I run propel I get the following error:

-bash: propel: command not found

Result of ln -al

lrwxr-xr-x   1 user  group     17 11 jan 10:47 propel -> vendor/bin/propel

How can I solve this?

Note: calling vendor/bin/propel is working correctly

Hi, did you manage to get it work and installed. it doesn't seem very premising at all, I have used the composer to install it, and I have got a lots of errors. — Ofcourse, Jan 24 '17 at 00:45
Yes I did. Installing with composer did not generate any errors. Only thing is that I cannot use the 'propel' command, but need to use the ./propel command. — klaasjansen, Jan 24 '17 at 09:20

Try ./propel

Calling only 'propel' should look for global executable

That works, why is only 'propel' for global executables? Isn't there a way to make just typing 'propel' work? (without changing the global path) – klaasjansen Jan 11 '17 at 16:06
No. Check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10235125/linux-custom-executable-globally-available – po_taka Jan 12 '17 at 08:05
I might be missing the ./name part in this link? – klaasjansen Jan 12 '17 at 10:18
