Bash commands not working

bashnotfound901 · 10-13-2019, 10:34 AM

Hey! I am new to raspberry pie and I am trying to install vscode onto raspberrypie so I encountered problems with bash
here is my output on echo$PATH
"/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/snap/bin:/home/vivek/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games"

I am providing this to make you able to spoonfeed me. Please understand my situation and help me past this,
BTW I am trying to compile vscode by this command
"./scripts/npm.sh install --arch=armhf"
and it gives me output
"bash: ./scripts/npm.sh: No such file or directory"

Thanks in advance!

Nope. You'll need to do it.

What is the output of

Code:

ls /scripts/npm.sh

Do you have a directory called scripts? And a file named npm.sh in it?

Quote:

"bash: ./scripts/npm.sh: No such file or directory"

Says it can't find that file.

How about some info on what you are trying to do. How you tried to do it. What you are using. Isn't npm in your distros repository?

No, bash is working as expected. You need to understand the reply: it does not find the file you specified. Probably it is located somewhere else.

If

Code:

./scripts/npm.sh install --arch=armhf

says "not found" then check it with

Code:

ls ./scripts/npm.sh

If it exists, then check its shebang with

Code:

head ./scripts/npm.sh

The interpreter after the #! must exist.

try

Code:

sudo find / -type f -name npm.sh

to see if it is even anywhere on your system.
if no then maybe go back and get it again?

I got the following output

pi@raspberrypi:~/vscode $ head ./scripts/npm.sh
#!/bin/bash

yarn $*pi@raspberrypi:~/vscode $

Yeah whats the way out of it?

pan64 · 10-14-2019, 01:22 AM

in post #6 there is a mistake, that should be ./scripts/npm.sh (the leading dot is very important).
From the other hand based on the answers you posted probably the execute flag is missing from that file, so chmod +x ./scripts/npm.sh will help.
ls -l .scripts/npm.sh may give more information.

bashnotfound901 · 10-14-2019, 01:56 AM

UPDATE

i am past that problem but now I encounter this
pi@raspberrypi:~/vscode $ ./scripts/npm.sh install --arch=armhf
yarn install v1.12.3

bash: -l: command not found

pan64 · 10-14-2019, 02:25 AM

so you made a mistake again. that should be: ls -l ./scripts/npm.sh. I mistyped (a missing /) too.
Again, you need to learn how bash works. This is the way out.
Now another file is missing. Probably you are in a different directory, or mistyped something or ???

What exactly is the command? That can help you help me?

pan64 · 10-14-2019, 02:45 AM

I have no idea what are you trying to do, what have you done already, what did you mistype accidentally so I cannot tell you the next step.

teckk · 10-14-2019, 07:56 AM

You are trying to install npm. Doesn't that exist in your distos repository?

Code:

pacman -Si npm
...
Name            : npm
Version         : 6.10.3-1
Description     : A package manager for javascript
...
URL             : https://www.npmjs.com/
...
Depends On      : nodejs  node-gyp  semver
Optional Deps   : None
Conflicts With  : None
Replaces        : None
Download Size   : 2.89 MiB
Installed Size  : 16.14 MiB
...

It looks like /home/bashnotfound901/npm.sh exists on your box. Is the script executable?

I think that you are going to have a mess real quick trying to install software like that. Find a package for it and use your package manager to install it.

What linux are you using? Is there a package for npm in the repo?
