I have installed Twurl but for some reason I still can't use it. I believe I have it installed because it shows up when I type the ls command. Then I am able to navigate to the folder that Twurl is contained in. However, I am not able to go into the Twurl folder because it says it is not a directory. I am able to use the command open twurl, which opens up a seperate terminal window with a lot of information about Twurl, but I can't type anything. One other thing, when I try and run twurl authorize I get this response: twurl: command not found So my question is, how do I go about getting twurl to work now? Such that I can run the twurl authorize command.

gem env output:

I think I might have installed it in two places. I originally used gem install twurl, but then it wasn't working and I was trying some things and used bundler to install at some point too.

    Can you show the output of `gem env`? – Stefan Dec 08 '20 at 08:47
  • How did you install `twurl`? – spickermann Dec 08 '20 at 10:54
  • I updated the main post with more info – cbagin Dec 08 '20 at 14:59
  • `EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY` is where the binary files are installed. Can you run Twurl via `/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/bin/twurl`? – Stefan Dec 09 '20 at 10:52
  • I can not - I am running ```cd /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/bin``` and then ```twurl authorize ``` and still getting ```twurl: command not found```. If I try and do ```/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/bin/twurl``` it says ```not a directory``` – cbagin Dec 09 '20 at 15:54

    When you `cd` into the `bin` directory, you have to run it via `./twurl` i.e. with trailing `./` – Stefan Dec 12 '20 at 14:07
