-bash: sencha command not found

Question

I installed Sencha SDK and Sencha command on my mac-mini and done with some sample app.. but suddenly after some time when I tried to run sencha command on terminal, I got the response as '-bash: sencha command not found', I don't know why this was happened. Earlier I didn't find such type of response but now I got this error. Please tell me what are the possible scenarios for this thing to be happened.. Thanks for your help

You should procede that way:

Verify if this command is contained in PATH. PATH is an environment variable holded by bash and initialized when a new user is logged in (.bash_profile file for all user and the corrispective into home for single user). So check what echo $PATH told you and verify if this command is contained into those folder
Probably, from step 1, the answer will be "No, it isn't". So you have to procede this way: use whereis command to search this command (that will be an executable script) and once you find it, you have two possibilities: one is to use it directly by specifying full path (returned from whereis command). If you want to run simply it with sencha -arguments you have to add executable path returned by whereis ($PATH=$PATH:/returned/path/by/whereis) into file .bash_profile

In that way you should be able to execute your command from any "point" in your filesystem

sencha command is not found in that folder and when I tried to find it using whereis, it didn't return any path – smily May 08 '13 at 07:38
@smily: so I suppose that there isn't any `sencha` command into your OS. – DonCallisto May 08 '13 at 08:27

you might have to do source ~/.bashrc if its mac so that sencha is recognized – ssinganamalla Aug 12 '13 at 03:18

The Sencha installer expects you to use bash as shell. It fails, if you use any other (like the nice zsh). You need to copy the content of .bash_profile to your shell startup-file (.zprofile in my case), save it and open a new terminal window.

Add PATH and VAR manually in .bash_profile file at the root of your user folder,

export SENCHA_CMD_3_0_0="/Users/you/Path/To/Sencha/Cmd/3.0.0.XXX" export PATH=/Users/you/Path/To/Sencha/Cmd/3.0.0.188:$PATH
