zsh: command not found: pub

Question

I'm getting this error message when try to install aqueduct on macOS Catalina with this command.

pub global activate aqueduct

I managed to install it by putting flutter in front of it but now I cannot run aqueduct. I tried

aqueduct --version

I get an error again

zsh: command not found: aqueduct

Here is my .zshrc file (I've added last second line to try to fix it)

export PATH="$PATH:/Users/peter/development/tools/flutter/bin"
export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin"

I don't know what else to do...

did you get the same error on bash ? – Heliozoan

@HugoS No I get The default interactive shell is now zsh. To update your account to use zsh, please run 'chsh -s /bin/zsh'. – Shotten

@HugoS should I ran that command? – Shotten

even with bash I get the error bash: aqueduct: command not found – Shotten

Have you checked if there's a binary file aqueduct in folders "$PATH:/Users/peter/development/tools/flutter/bin" or "$PATH":"$HOME/.pub-cache/bin", and that it's permissions are rwx ? – Communal

@OlhaPavliuk there seems to be no files aqueduct in "$PATH:/Users/peter/development/tools/flutter/bin" and there is no folder ".pub-cache" in my home directory – Shotten

Have you installed Dart: dart.dev/get-dart ? This is required before setting up aqueduct – Communal

like brew install dart and other steps – Communal

@OlhaPavliuk I thought dart is installed together with flutter.... ok.. I'm doing it and let you know – Shotten

@OlhaPavliuk that worked... can you put it as an answer so I can mark it as answered – Shotten

@Shotten : Did you check your PATH? Not by looking into your .zshrc, but by doing a echo $PATH just before running the command. – Ergener

@Ergener No i did not... but to be honest i think it only needed to install brew.. everything is working now. I had to reinstall xcode after that but i managed that as well after an hour of waiting – Shotten

Answer 1

Well, I don't know what is aqueduct, but this is a common way to solve such issues:

1. When you see $ zsh: command not found: aqueduct,

run $ which aqueduct - it shouldn't work.

If it works, then the shell does know about a binary named aqueduct.

2. Find out in which folder aquedict is located, and add the path to it in export PATH=..., like in you did in .zshrc file.

3. If you found aquedict binary, and it still fails to work, try adding it permissions to execute:

chmod +rwx aquedict

4. If you didn't found aquedict binary, read the docs again. :)

In your case it's https://aqueduct.io/docs/getting_started/ ,

and the first step is to install Dart: https://dart.dev/get-dart

Answer 2

Edit zshrc file using vim on terminal

vim ~/.zshrc

edit data on zshrc after pressing "i" on keyboard. Export flutter location, aqueduct location and dart sdk location.

NOTE, to change the your_path to your flutter directory. i.e where flutter is installed.

export PATH="$PATH":"your_path/flutter/bin"
export PATH="$PATH":"your_path/flutter/.pub-cache/bin"
export PATH="$PATH":"your_path/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin"

After editing press "esc" key and type :wq for saving Check working of aqueduct using

aqueduct --version

or

aqueduct serve

If you have flutter installed, try flutter pub global activate aqueduct

Answer 4

I got this error zsh: command not found: pub

quick answer if you already have flutter installed

run

flutter pub get

because You can either download the Dart SDK directly (as described below) or download the Flutter SDK, which (as of Flutter 1.21) includes the full Dart SDK.

In my case I wanted to install dependencies in pubspec.yaml in my dart project, but got zsh: command not found: pub.

What is pub

The pub tool has commands for managing packages and for deploying packages and command-line apps.

Answer 5

If flutter is present but for pub it show zsh: command not found: pub then use flutter pub instead of pub eg : flutter pub lottie this will add lottie as dependency
