PATH PROBLEM WINDOW
I tried to install wasp but gets this error :
root@DESKTOP-I24FTFQ:/mnt/c/Users/bilal/Desktop/SmartEkkoProject# wasp version
Command 'wasp' not found, did you mean:
command 'wash' from deb reaver (1.6.5-1)
command 'asp' from deb asp (1.8-8build1)
command 'wamp' from deb python3-autobahn (21.11.1+dfsg1-2build1)
command 'warp' from deb libghc-wai-app-static-dev (3.1.7.1-1build5.1)
Try: apt install <deb name>

Hi @SEDIPEC. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

It seems like the Wasp executable is not on your system's PATH. This means that your system doesn't know where to find the
wasp command.
To resolve this issue, you need to add the directory containing the wasp executable to your PATH. The Wasp executable is typically installed in the .local/bin directory in your home directory.
Here's how you can add this directory to your PATH:
1. Open your shell configuration file. This could be one of the following, depending on your system configuration:
- For Bash shell: Open ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile
- For Zsh shell: Open ~/.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: source ~/.bashrc or source ~/.bash_profile
- For Zsh shell: source ~/.zshrc
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 "Command 'wasp' not found" error.
This solution was discussed in a Discord support thread (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1214888257595121684) and is also part of the Wasp installation script as seen in this Github issue (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1455).
