Installing Sencha Command problems with osx and zsh

Question

I can't get sencha command 3.0.0.250 to install correctly.

I'm on OSX 10.7.5. Using zsh shell.

Installing sencha command I install to the default "users/mark/bin"

I've downloaded sencha touch 2.1.0 commercial and navigated to that sdk folder. Running "sencha" in terminal gives "zsh: command not found: sencha"

I guess I'm installing to the wrong directory?

Advice would be appreciated.

Answer 1

If anyone else is having this problem, the solution is to create an alias in your .zshrc file to the sencha executable. In my case this looked like this

alias sencha="~/bin/Sencha/Cmd/3.0.0.250/sencha"

Answer 2

The command:

alias sencha="~/bin/Sencha/Cmd/3.0.0.250/sencha"

Will work BUT... make sure that you match the number of the version that you installed. ie:

alias sencha="~/bin/Sencha/Cmd/<version number installed>/sencha"

Took me an hour to figure this out...

On the terminal, run:

1. nano ~/.zshrc

2. then add:

alias sencha="~/bin/Sencha/Cmd/<VERSION NUMBER>/sencha"

3. save the file and restart your terminal.

This should do the trick.
