zsh: command not found: air

[scratchoo]

tried to installed air using both

go get -u github.com/cosmtrek/air

and

curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cosmtrek/air/master/install.sh | sh -s -- -b $(go env GOPATH)/bin

then added alias air='~/.air' to .zshrc file
sourced the .zshrc (even restarted the terminal)

then run air -c .air.toml

zsh: no such file or directory: /home/mee/.air

system: ubuntu 18.04

same issue, on m1 mac

That's to be expected.
Executing curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cosmtrek/air/master/install.sh | sh -s -- -b .
Binary will be $(go env GOPATH)/bin/air.
Meanwhile, your alias is pointing to ~/.air.
The binary isn't there.

Your choices:

1. Update your alias to alias air='$(go env GOPATH)/bin/air'
2. Move the binary to your home directory. mv $(go env GOPATH)/bin/air ~/.air

What @rizalgowandy said ^

My binary got installed in /Users/your-username/go/bin/air

2. Move the binary to your home directory. mv $(go env GOPATH)/bin/.air ~/.air

It works for me after I removed "." -> alias air='$(go env GOPATH)/bin/air'

Go noob here, same problem. I installed both using the installer, and also with go get while I was thrashing around. I wanted to keep it under version control, so I deleted the installed version and went with the go get method. It looks like

alias air='$(go env GOPATH)/bin/air'

Works for either one?

Nice! Inserting this alias in bashrc or zshrc makes any terminal session definitive for those who don't already know

[gabr0236]

This works for me. But every time i close/reopen i need to set the alias. Is there a more permanent option?

[JVmano]

@gabr0236 Check if there's any other path to your bashrc/zshrc. As always the default path is in ~/.

Some of those topics can be useful:

This need to be updated on doc

You will need to update your ~/.zshrc file by adding this line:
export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin
