Installing a unix application?

Question

I am trying to install depot_tools here are the instructions.

I downloaded the file from this:

svn co http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/tools/depot_tools

I wanted to install it in /usr/local so I moved the download there via gui.

The next part is:

export PATH="$PATH":`pwd`/depot_tools

So I went into .bash_login and changed this:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH"

to this:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH:/usr/local/depot_tools"

Terminal wont recognize any of the commands gclient, gcl, git-cl, repo.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Did you source the ~/.bash_login after modifying it? Editing a file does not automatically load it into the current shell. Try running:

source ~/.bash_login

Just starting a new terminal emulator may not source ~/.bash_profile; it depends on how the terminal program is invoked.
