-bash: /.bash_profile: No such file or directory [on hold]
-bash: /.bash_profile: No such file or directory [on hold]
After installing Java SE Development Kit 10
When I try to check which version is activated on bash and when I do the same way as the way is teached on this MOOC and on this specific course:
For starting to be sure I’m on the right dir I do:
cd ~
/.bash_profile
I receive this error:
-bash: /.bash_profile: No such file or directory
And then after what can I do if the file is empty what should i put in it?
If you get the same error just check that edited post.
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Leading
/
means it is in the root directory. Try: . ./.bash_profile
. The first dot means "source (read) the file" the second means "current directory", the third is part of the filename. BTW, default for cd
is the home directory, the ~
is superfluous.– cdarke

/
. ./.bash_profile
cd
~
Go back and look carefully. I'm sure they didn't say for you to enter
/.bash_profile
exactly.– lurker

/.bash_profile
check whether the .bash_profile exists in the home directory or not using vi command.

not Java, just pure bash: - the course states, as much as I could find, to open
~/.bash_profile
not /.bash_profile

The command needed was:
vi ~/.bash_profile
And then I just need to write:
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-10.0.2.jdk/Contents/Home/
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
And then saving it with:
:wq
refer cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-set-java_home-path-variable to set java path
