add single binary to PATH Maybe this is a WSL question, in which case I'm not sure where to ask. I have a single binary that I want to add to path `~/.scry/bin/scry`. So I went to `~/.bashrc` and added export PATH="$HOME/.scry/bin/scry:$PATH" The reason I don't want to add the folder is because `~/.scry/bin` has some other binaries that I don't want in my PATH. I did that and then run: ~$ . .bashrc But when I run `scry` (the binary) I get a `command not found` error. I tried restarting the console (`Ctrl`+`D`) and opening it again (debian). But it still doesn't recognize the command. I'm unsure of how to proceed, please help.

That doesn't work -- the paths from `PATH` will be treated as directories to be prepended to commands no matter if they're executables or any other kind of file.

A simple solution is to create a directory somewhere else, create a symbolic link to your binary there, then add that directory to `PATH`:


mkdir ~/my-bin
ln -s ~/.scry/bin/scry ~/my-bin
PATH=$PATH:~/my-bin
