skm command not found

Problem

When trying to use skm in the terminal, you may see the error message -bash: skm: command not found. This usually indicates that the system cannot locate the skm executable, likely due to a missing path entry or antivirus interference.

Follow the steps below to add skm to your system PATH and resolve the issue.

Update Your System PATH Variable

Path Configuration Example

If any of these paths are missing:
