I'm using zsh with oh-my-zsh as my shell and I need to add the Laravel Spark Installer to my path, but I must be missing a step or messing up the syntax

I've added spark-installer to my path like this: 

path+=('/Users/retrograde/Development/spark-installer')

Nothing was added to the path, so I edited it directly with:

vim ~/.zshrc

added

   # Spark installer
  export PATH="$HOME/Users/retrograde/Development/spark-installer:$PATH"

then ran: 

source ~/.zshrc

The spark-installer does not show with the other paths upon running echo "$PATH"

Am I missing something? Maybe my syntax is wrong? TIA

  • are you sure. I just tried the same syntax in my .zshrc file . and I can see the spark-installer in the PATH. It will be in the beginning of the path. – root Dec 07 '16 at 04:33
  • maybe I'm not resetting it correctly? source ~/.zshrc is it, right? – retrograde Dec 07 '16 at 04:38
  • this is my echo "$PATH" output: /Users/retrograde/.composer/vendor/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/git/bin – retrograde Dec 07 '16 at 04:40

    instead of sourcing close the terminal and open a new one and check path there. also what is the output of `echo $0` – root Dec 07 '16 at 04:51
  • Ok, that worked it is in the path now. echo $0 returns /bin/zsh. But when I try to run a spark command, I still get: zsh: command not found: spark – retrograde Dec 07 '16 at 04:54
  • where is your larvel installed ? – root Dec 07 '16 at 05:00
  • Globally, using: composer global require "laravel/installer", the project is going to be in the users/retograde/Development folder – retrograde Dec 07 '16 at 05:09
