I have been on this issue for a couple days now. I use zsh and need to set a directory path so that the command i use will be recognized. Following these steps so far:

cd ~

ls -al

ls -al shows me these files:

.oh-my-zsh
.profile
.putty
.rediscli_history
.ringo-history
.ssh
.subversion
.viminfo
.zcompdump
.zsh-update
.zsh_history
.zshrc

I assume i need to add the path to .zshrc, so:

open -e .zshrc

At the end of the file, i added the path of the command i will be using to set my project (with ringojs):

export PATH=Users/repos/ringojs/bin/:$PATH

Close the file, restart the terminal application, restart the computer, however the command (ringo-admin) located under the path above (/Users/repos/ringojs/bin) is not found:

ringo-admin create --google-appengine MyAppName
zsh: command not found: ringo-admin

Please help me with that, if it will of some help, here is my .zshrc file content:

# Path to your oh-my-zsh configuration.
ZSH=$HOME/.oh-my-zsh

# Set name of the theme to load.
# Look in ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/
# Optionally, if you set this to "random", it'll load a random theme each
# time that oh-my-zsh is loaded.
ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"

# Example aliases
# alias zshconfig="mate ~/.zshrc"
# alias ohmyzsh="mate ~/.oh-my-zsh"

# Set to this to use case-sensitive completion
# CASE_SENSITIVE="true"

# Comment this out to disable bi-weekly auto-update checks
# DISABLE_AUTO_UPDATE="true"

# Uncomment to change how many often would you like to wait before auto-updates occur? (in days)
# export UPDATE_ZSH_DAYS=13

# Uncomment following line if you want to disable colors in ls
# DISABLE_LS_COLORS="true"

# Uncomment following line if you want to disable autosetting terminal title.
# DISABLE_AUTO_TITLE="true"

# Uncomment following line if you want red dots to be displayed while waiting for completion
# COMPLETION_WAITING_DOTS="true"

# Which plugins would you like to load? (plugins can be found in ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/*)
# Custom plugins may be added to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/
# Example format: plugins=(rails git textmate ruby lighthouse)
plugins=(git)

source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

# Customize to your needs...
export PATH=Users/repos/ringojs/bin/ringo-admin:$PATH

Please guide me step by step, as i am new to zsh. Thanx.

UPDATE:

echo $PATH display me the recently added directory:

/Users/repos/ringojs/bin/ringo-admin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin

I don't understand why the command is always not found.

You are missing a leading slash. Try:

export PATH=/Users/repos/ringojs/bin/:$PATH
