Add Akash Install Location to User’s Path

Add the software’s install location to the user’s path for easy use of Akash commands.

NOTE: Below we provide the steps to add the Akash install directory to a user’s path on a Linux Ubuntu server. Please take a look at a guide for your operating system and how to add a directory to a user’s path.

Open the user’s path file in an editor:

vi /etc/environment

View within text editor prior to the update:

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin"

Add the following directory, which is the Akash install location, to PATH. In this example the active user is root. If logged in as another username, replace /root with your current/home directory.

/root/demo

View within the text editor following the update:

PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/root/demo"

Make the Path Active in the Current Session
