Answer 1

Follow these steps:- wails doctor zsh: command not found: wails mkdir ~/go mkdir: /Users/devn/go: File exists export GOPATH=~/go go install github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@latest

export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

sudo ~/.bashrc

sudo: /Users/devn/.bashrc: command not found

sudo ~/.bash_profile

sudo: /Users/devn/.bash_profile: command not found

source ~/.bashrc

wails version v2.4.1

Answer 2

Wails executable is not being recognized by your system.

You can try the commands below:

1. echo $PATH

   Check if /Users/devn/go/bin is included in the output.

2. source ~/.bashrc

   After modifying the PATH variable, reload the shell configuration for the changes to take effect. Restart the terminal or run the above command to reload the configuration.

3. ls -l /Users/devn/go/bin

   Now verify that the 'wails' executable is present in the directory by running the above command.

4. If none of the above steps resolve the issue, try reinstalling wails by running:

   go get github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2/cmd/wails@latest
