You can add this build file to your environment file

To add the notes build file (i.e., notes.exe for Windows or notes for macOS/Linux) to your system's environment path, follow these instructions for each platform:

1. Windows

Adding notes.exe to PATH:

1. Move the notes.exe file to a permanent location (e.g., C:\tools\notes):
   • Create a folder for your tools, e.g., C:\tools\notes
   • Move the notes.exe file there.
2. Add the folder to the system PATH:
   • Open the Start Menu and search for Environment Variables.
   • Select Edit the system environment variables.
   • In the System Properties window, click the Environment Variables button.
   • In the Environment Variables window, under System variables, select Path and click Edit.
   • Click New and add the path to the folder where notes.exe is located (e.g., C:\tools\notes).
   • Click OK to close all windows.
3. Test the PATH:
   • Open Command Prompt and run:

notes.exe help

• If the command runs successfully, the notes.exe file is now accessible from any directory.

Run this command in PowerShell

$pathToAdd = "C:\path\to\your\notes.exe"
$env:Path += ";$pathToAdd"
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $env:Path, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)

Steps:

1. Replace C:\path\to\your\notes.exe with the actual path where notes.exe is located (e.g., C:\tools\notes).
2. Open PowerShell as an administrator.
3. Run the command above.

Verify:

To verify that the path has been added, you can check the Path variable:

Note:

This command updates the Path for the current user. If you want to set it for the system (for all users), replace [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User with [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine in the last line, but note that you need administrative privileges to do this.

2. MacOS

Adding notes to PATH:

1. Move the notes binary to a permanent location (e.g., /usr/local/bin):

sudo mv notes /usr/local/bin/notes

2. Make the file executable:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/notes

3.Test the PATH: Open a terminal and run:

notes help

If the command runs successfully, the notes binary is now accessible from any directory.

Note:

Ensure /usr/local/bin is included in your PATH. You can check this with:

 echo $PATH

3. Linux

Adding notes to PATH:

1. Move the notes binary to a location included in your PATH (e.g., /usr/local/bin):

sudo mv notes /usr/local/bin/notes

2. Make the file executable:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/notes

3. Test the PATH: Open a terminal and run:

notes help

If the command runs successfully, the notes binary is now accessible from any directory.

Note:

Ensure /usr/local/bin is included in your PATH. You can check this with:

 echo $PATH
