zsh command not found skm

zsh: command not found: skm

This guide helps resolve the error zsh: command not found: skm on MacOS. This issue occurs when the SplashKit path is not correctly set in the .zshrc file.

Problem

When trying to use skm in the terminal, you may encounter the error zsh: command not found: skm, indicating that the .splashkit directory is not included in your PATH.

Solution

To resolve this, add the .splashkit folder to your .zshrc file. Follow the steps below:

1. Locate Your .zshrc File

   The .zshrc file is located in your home directory at ~/Users/(your username)/.

   If you don’t see it, press Shift + Command + . (dot) to toggle hidden files visibility in Finder.

2. Identify Your Username (Optional)

   To ensure you’re in the correct directory, you can use the whoami command in Terminal to check your username:

   whoami

   

3. Add SplashKit to PATH

   Open the .zshrc file with a text editor and add the following line at the end to include the SplashKit path:

   export PATH="$HOME/.splashkit:$PATH"

4. Optional: Add .NET Path to PATH

   For .NET compatibility, add this line to your .zshrc file as well:

   export PATH="/usr/local/share/dotnet:$PATH"

5. Optional: Enable VS Code from Terminal

   To enable the code . command for opening Visual Studio Code from the terminal, add the following line:

   export PATH="$PATH:/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin"

6. Apply Changes

   Save the .zshrc file and then reload it with the following command to apply changes immediately:

   source ~/.zshrc

After completing these steps, your terminal should recognize the skm command, and you should be able to use SplashKit as expected.
