Can't run one particular program from Terminal without using it's full path












2














I want to run a program ds9 from the Terminal. The program is clearly in the PATH, which I determined by running:



which ds9

/Users/evgenii/miniconda3/envs/iraf/bin/ds9


But when I run the command by typingds9, it shows me the following error:



-bash: /Applications/ds9.app/Contents/MacOS/ds9: No such file or directory


I can still execute it fine if I use the full path as follows:



/Users/evgenii/miniconda3/envs/iraf/bin/ds9


What's going on? Why is it trying to run /Applications/ds9.app?



Permissions are as follows:



-rwxrwxr-x@ 1 evgenii  staff  18613852  9 Nov 20:13 /Users/evgenii/miniconda3/envs/iraf/bin/ds9


Update:



Here is the output of running type -a ds9 command:



type -a ds9

ds9 is aliased to `/Applications/ds9.app/Contents/MacOS/ds9 -xpa no'

ds9 is /Users/evgenii/miniconda3/envs/iraf/bin/ds9





terminal bash

  • If you create a new tab in Terminal and try again, does it work?

    See. ds9 is aliased to /Applications/ds9.app/Contents/MacOS/ds9 -xpa no'. Try running ds9, i.e. by appending a slash character before the command. This will ignore the alias.

The command is apparently aliased to a broken alias. First, check for all the matches for running ds9 in PATH variable by executing the following command:



type -a ds9



As per your update, it's apparent from the output of type -a ds9 command that an alias is shadowing the actual command.



To execute the actual command by ignoring the alias, and without specifying the full path, append a (slash) character before the command. This ignores any bash defined alias.



If you do not wish to append the slash before the command every time, figure out where the alias is being created, and either remove it or override the alias with the actual command.
