I am installing a command called gclient in Ubuntu 14.04. But It is not working and not giving any error message. I clone command from the following repository

$ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git

Then I run the command given below

$ export PATH=`pwd`/depot_tools:"$PATH"

When I run gclient command, it gives the following message 

gwl@gwl-B85M-D3H:~/rajendra$ gclient
: No such file or directory

I am not getting what I am doing wrong.

    Please post your PATH: `$ echo $PATH` – Vadim Kotov Jul 03 '17 at 11:08
  • `/home/gwl/rajendra/depot_tools:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games` – Rajendra Verma Jul 03 '17 at 11:39
  • It should work as long as you have `gclient` in depot_tools folder. It is working for me now, just tested. Are you sure you are trying to run gclient in the same shell session where you did `export PATH=..` command? – Vadim Kotov Jul 03 '17 at 11:44

  • It solves my problem but gclient is also working on Ubuntu 14.04 so that I do not think the problem is the operating system. – Rajendra Verma Jul 05 '17 at 14:19

Just open a session of terminal and export the path using this command.

export PATH=/path/to/depot_tools:$PATH

After that the gclient will be able to work only in that session of terminal. Once you closed it then you have to manually set path again when you open terminal.

We can export the desired path while exporting. Sample command to export the depot tools to home folder will look like below.

export PATH="$PATH:${HOME}/depot_tools"
