Dear SL community,I am a Scientific Linux user, and I am new to Linux I installed a program called grace for plotting graphs; when I want to execute the program, I used to type */xmgrace/* in the terminal then the program opens its window. Now I have to specify the location of xmgrace each time I wanna run the program for example, I type in the terminal the full path /home/Alaa/grace-5.1.25/src/xmgrace Is there a way to make running the program straightforward by typing just /*xmgrace*/ in the terminal?
put or change in .bash_profile (asuming that you are running bash) export PATH=$PATH:/home/Alaa/grace-5.1.25/src/ but that src there indicates that you are running the program in the same place that you compiled it. from here : http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/doc/UsersGuide.html#ss2.1 it seems that you should have used : ./configure --enable-grace-home=$HOME/<my_grace_location_different_from_location_of_the_source> then make && make install try to compile again and specify other directory for installation. after make install all binary data will be in that place and you will have to use something like : export PATH=$PATH:/home/Alaa/grace/bin Adrian
The last thing, since I come with Windows background in which all the installed files are located in a folder called _programs files _so In which folder can I find the installed programs in linux Best Regards, Alaa
