Default PATH

I have just installed SABnzb application in my home folder.
The executable file is SABnzb.py
When I run the command in the Konsole
# python SABnzb.py
I have this

Quote:

python: can't open file 'SABnzbd.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Try to give the whole path to the file.
Or add the directory containing the file to your path
make sure the file is executable.

Kind regards

You can copy /etc/profile to ~/.profile and edit your path, or you can set up a ~/.bashrc and put your path in there. You can add something like:

Code:

PATH=${PATH}:/path/to/your/bin/directory

to it.

Code:

echo $PATH

to see how it's set system wide have a look in /etc/profile and /etc/profile.d/*
try also launching

Code:

set

with no arguments (man set).

man set documents the Tcl set command on my system. help set documents the bash builtin set.
