Re: open a package in the terminal

[Gottfried]

Hi,

1.



2.

in entering "mscore" the package "Musescore" really opened in my MATE Terminal

That's why peeking in the /{s,}bin directories is helpful.

In my /bin folder there is only one sh (script/programm). Nothing else.
So, in what folder should I look to find the binary names?
Or with which command I can check?
I have got Guix SD

3.
If I enter:

  ~ λ ls $(guix build musescore)/bin

thanks for help

Kind regards

Gottfried

Hi Gottfried,

The project (≈package) named 'musescore' distributes a binary (≈command) named 
'mscore':

   ~ λ ls $(guix build musescore)/bin
   mscore

Don't ask me why they didn't call it 'musescore', but in general package names 
do not map 1:1 to binary names.  That's why peeking in the /{s,}bin directories 
is helpful.

An obvious example is 'coreutils', which provides most of the commands you use 
daily, but none named 'coreutils'.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Sent on the go.  Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
