I am trying to use this parquet-viewer so I can easily view parquet files in Visual Studio Code.
It requires that parquet-tools are available in the path.
I did
brew install parquet-tools
and when I try to open my .parquet file with Visual Studio Code I see the binary instead of viewing the contents of the file.
Before installing parquet-tools with homebrew, Visual Studio Code warned that parquet-tools are not included in the path. After installing parquet-tools, I no longer see this warning however I suspect the path is the issue.
Anyhow, my knowledge about environment variables and adding paths is rather limited, all I can do is edit my .bash_profile. I am not sure what Visual Code needs me to do when it requests that I add parquet-tools to its path, I am guessing that it has a CLI tool that somehow needs to search for the installed binaries in its own path? Is there a way I can edit that? Or does it just want me to add parquet-tools to my .bash_profile?
