Binary not accessible from Bash despite being in path I am learning how to program in Racket. Its binary is in `"/Applications/Racket v6.2/bin/racket"`. Let me show what happens: MacBook:~ enedil$ echo $PATH /Applications/Racket\ v6.2/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin MacBook:~ enedil$ ls -l /Applications/Racket\ v6.2/bin/racket -rwxr-xr-x@ 1 enedil admin 53712 Jun 19 22:23 /Applications/Racket v6.2/bin/racket MacBook:~ enedil$ file /Applications/Racket\ v6.2/bin/racket /Applications/Racket v6.2/bin/racket: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 MacBook:~ enedil$ racket -bash: racket: command not found MacBook:~ enedil$ bash --version GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin14) Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. How is this ever possible? What to do if I want a fully-working Racket compiler in my path?

It seems that you have made a mistake when editing `PATH` variable. Backslash character in your `PATH` output was considered literal, not escaping for space.

You need:

PATH="/Applications/Racket v6.2/bin:$PATH"; export PATH

or:

PATH=/Applications/Racket\ v6.2/bin:$PATH; export PATH
