Where is the `sdk` command installed for sdkman

Question

I just installed sdkman for installing grails on my machine (MacOS). When I run which sdk command I don\'t get any output. But when I run the sdk help

As you mentioned correctly "sdk" is not a command, its a declared function created by sdkman-main.sh (in ~/.sdkman/src) once called from ~/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh

This is the reason why the installation page of sdkman asks for appending the following steps in the .bash_profile which declares this function each time the bash profile is loaded :

#THIS MUST BE AT THE END OF THE FILE FOR SDKMAN TO WORK!!!

[[ -s "/home/dudette/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh" ]] && source "/home/dudette/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"

This is also the reason "which" command doesn't pick it up as it checks for the installed commands on the linux PATH
