Add Akash Install Location to User’s Path
Add the software’s install location to the user’s path for easy use of Akash commands.
NOTE: Below we provide the steps to add the Akash install directory to a user’s path on a Linux Ubuntu server. Please take a look at a guide for your operating system and how to add a directory to a user’s path.
Open the user’s path file in an editor:
vi /etc/environment
View within text editor prior to the update:
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin"
Add the following directory, which is the Akash install location, to PATH. In this example the active user is root. If logged in as another username, replace /root with your current/home directory.
/root/bin
View within the text editor following the update:
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/root/bin"
. /etc/environment
Display the version of Akash software installed. This confirms the software installed and that the new user path addition worked.
