Hi @Diego Escudero. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
I'm sorry, but without the specific details of the warning message you're encountering, it's difficult to provide a precise solution. However, I can suggest a few general troubleshooting steps based on common issues:
1. Check your Node.js version: Wasp requires Node.js and it might cause issues if it's missing or not the correct version. You can check your Node.js version by running
node -v in your terminal. If Node.js is not installed or you have an incompatible version, you might need to install or update it.
2. Check your internet connection: The installation command you're running is downloading Wasp from the internet. Make sure your internet connection is stable.
3. Try running the command again: Sometimes, temporary issues can cause the installation to fail. Try running the command again after a few minutes.
4. Check for permission issues: If you're getting a permission error, you might need to run the command with sudo.
If none of these steps solve your issue, I recommend you to open an issue on the Wasp Github page (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues) or ask for help in the Wasp Discord community (https://discord.gg/rzdnErX). They should be able to provide more specific assistance.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
The warning message you're seeing is indicating that the directory where the Wasp executable is located (
/Users/diegoescudero/.local/bin) is not included in your system's PATH environment variable. The PATH environment variable is a list of directories that your system checks when you run a command. If the directory containing the command is not in your PATH, you won't be able to run the command directly.
To resolve this issue, you need to add the directory to your PATH. Here's how you can do it:
1. Open your shell configuration file. This could be one of several files, depending on your system configuration and which shell you're using. Common options are ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, or ~/.zshrc.
2. Add the following line at the end of the file:
This line adds the .local/bin directory located in your home directory to the beginning of the PATH variable.
3. Save the changes and close the file.
4. Reload the shell configuration by running the following command in your terminal:
For Bash shell:
or
For Zsh shell:
After following these steps, the .local/bin directory should be added to your PATH, and you should be able to run the wasp command without encountering the "not on your PATH" error.
This solution is based on the advice given in a Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1214888257595121684) for Wasp.
