I've been trying to run a simple script named 'post-install.sh':

#!/bin/zsh
sudo apt-get update -y

This script is in ~/bin.

Relevant commands:

% echo $PATH
/home/$USER/bin:/usr/local/bin:/home/$USER/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin

My ~/.zshrc has:

export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH

My ~ directory has (among others):

.bashrc
.profile
.xinitrc
.zshrc

My /etc directory also has a zsh file but I haven't modified it. My ~/.bashrc doesn't seem to have anything relevant (I've tried adding 'source ~/.bashrc' to my .zshrc).

I'm running Debian 10 on a Thinkpad x230.

EDIT: I've tried running my script from '/usr/local/bin' as well. I've also tried running my script as:

sudo post-install.sh
sudo zsh post-install.sh
post-install.sh

My script does run when I run the absolute path:

sudo ~/bin/post-install.sh

  • Assuming the script is executable, did you just recently (in the same shell session) move the script to its current location? If so, does rehash (in the interactive zsh session) make it available as post-install.sh?

  • I 'chmod' the wrong file @Kusalananda :( Solved!

I didn't mark it as executable (I did it on the wrong file) -.-

Here it is how you do it if you don't know: https://askubuntu.com/questions/229589/how-to-make-a-file-e-g-a-sh-script-executable-so-it-can-be-run-from-a-termi
