slackpkg installpkg upgradepkg not working very new to slackware
 

so i just installed slackware today... still trying to get my feet wet in it but have used other distros for quite some time... the problem im having:

installpkg upgradepkg and slackpkg all return with a command not found error and im not sure if there is something i need to install from the dvd that i didnt

slackware64 ver 14

an example of the error is

ex@Capricorn:~$ sudo nano /etc/slackpkg/mirrors
Password:
lex@Capricorn:~$ sudo slackpkg update gpg
sudo: slackpkg: command not found
lex@Capricorn:~$ slackpkg
bash: slackpkg: command not found

seems to me like a PATH problem, try if becoming root with "su -" instead of using sudo fixes it.

Did you uncomment one and only one mirror, that is, remove the # in front of the mirror of your choice?

once i su instead of sudo it worked so thanks how do i mark this as solved?

Use the "Thread Tools" menu at the top of the thread to mark as SOLVED

If you prefer using sudo instead of su - you can also add /usr/sbin to your PATH.
