Problem :
Show my path:
echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/usr/lib/go/bin
Issue http command:
http --version
bash: /usr/local/bin/http: No such file or directory
Where does http locate?
which http
/usr/bin/http
Issue http command with absolute path:
/usr/bin/http --version
0.9.8
Why does not http call /usr/bin/http instead of /usr/local/bin/http ?
Solution :
It could be that when your shell started /usr/local/bin/http was still present. Then something happened, the file got deleted but shell doesn’t know about it.
What you need to do is to let shell forget remembered program locations by executing:
hash -r
to view full help of the hash command, you can do help hash
