bash: gdb: No such file or directory

Question

I am following the official documentation of Discover Rust. I am trying to flash the program into STM32F3. The Flash chapter asks to execute this command

<gdb> -q target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/led-roulette

but it returns

bash: gdb: No such file or directory

As advised, my location is

naufil@Naufil:~/Desktop/discovery/src/05-led-roulette

and there is indeed led-roulette file inside debug folder. I have also made user if gdb is installed by executing

$ which -a gdb
/usr/bin/gdb

Are you actually typing the `<` and `>`? If so, don't. – Sean Bright Jun 19 '19 at 18:24 — Sean Bright, Jun 19 '19 at 18:24

From immediately below that command in the documentation you linked:

NOTE: <gdb> represents a GDB program capable of debugging ARM binaries. This could be arm-none-eabi-gdb, gdb-multiarch or gdb depending on your system -- you may have to try all three.

All I had to do was remove the greater and less than characters:

gdb -q target/thumbv7em-none-eabihf/debug/led-roulette
