I recently downloaded a python script which uses some custom helper
scripts. The scriptS are provided as zip file. The instructions were ti
download to chosen directory and un-zip the file.
The launching instructions were to do
cd /path/to/script
then
python script.py
That *WORKS* as advertised.
I thought I could "simplify" my life by doing
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/script
and then launch by doing just doing
python script.py
That FAILED to find script.py .
May I be pointed to a complete explanation of the use of the PATH$
environmental variable.
TIA
