[ase-users] Issues Installing ASE on Mac

[Jakob Schiøtz]

Dear Brent,

Sorry for the late reply.

I am not 100% sure which set of instructions you were using to install ASE, but most likely you need to set your PATH environment variable.

If you installed ASE using “pip” then you probably just need to add ~/.local/bin to your PATH.  Add this line to your .bash_profile file:

export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

(note that on a Mac it should be in .bash_profile not in .bashrc due to a quirk in how bash works, which most linuxes bypass).


Best regards

Jakob

I installed ASE following the guidelines from the website but whenever I try to run "ase test" it says "-bash: ase: command not found". I assume this is an issue with the environment variables but I have tried a lot of different things and still cannot figure it out. Let me know what kind of information you need to help me identify my problem.
