command not found: - Andy's Blog

Why?

Environment variables were not set properly to add to the system PATH.

Environment

• mysql Ver 8.4.1 for macos14 on arm64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)
• nvm 0.39.7

Steps

1. Open Terminal and edit the Zsh configuration file .zshrc using vi or other IDE you liked

   vi ~/.zshrc

2. Add the following contents inside and save

   command not found:mysql

   export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin/

   command not found:nvm

   export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
   [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm

3. Reload the Zsh configuration .zshrc to take effect

   source ~/.zshrc

4. Validate

   # MySQL
   mysql --version
   # NVM
   nvm --version
