MacOS: command line interface not available?

[Scriptorius-Git]

Hi,
I have just installed noScribe v0.7 and tried to use the command line option.
In the Terminal, I entered
% noScribe
(not "noScribe.exe" ;-) ) and it says
zsh: command not found: noScribe
How can I use the command line interface?
Thanks in advance for every hint!

Did you install it from the dmg file? Then, the binary noScribeis probably in /Applications/noScribe.app/Contents/MacOS/. You should be able to run it from there.

Thank you! If I'm in .../MacOS, I can start noScribe. But if I'm in my home directory, I can't, neither with % ./.../MacOS/noScribe -h nor with a blank after the dot: . /.../MacOS/noScribe -h. Maybe it is a beginner's Mac user problem, but maybe somebody can help...

From your home directory, I think you need to start it with /Applications/noScribe.app/Contents/MacOS/noScribe -h. The . at the beginning indicates a relative path and must fail accordingly.

It would be the easiest if you make sure that noScribe is in your $PATH. However, I don't know how to do that as I'm not a Mac user.

Thank you very much! That's it. And I will ask other people how to get noScribe in my $PATH. Thank you very much!!

I think the easiest would be to set an alias. I don't see a real need to add it to your $PATH.

Just add this to your .zshrc:

alias noScribe="/Applications/noScribe.app/Contents/MacOS/noScribe"

Thank you! The alias works.
And for those who prefer the PATH variant, here is what you should add as the last line in .zprofile (it took me some time to figure it out):
path+=('/Applications/noScribe.app/Contents/MacOS')
