bash: ~/.bash_profile: No such file or directory

Question

I keep getting this error:

bash: ~/.bash_profile: No such file or directory

Here is my bash_profile:

alias ngrok=/Users/mmahalw         


        

Answer 1

Bash has ~/.profile instead of ~/.bash_profile

Content of ~/.profile :

# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
# exists.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
# the files are located in the bash-doc package.

# the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask
# for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package.
#umask 022

# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
    # include .bashrc if it exists
    if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
    . "$HOME/.bashrc"
    fi
fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi

In my case I was receiving the following error.

-bash: /Users/mac241/.rvm/scripts/rvm: No such file or directory
-bash: /Users/mac241/.rvm/scripts/rvm: No such file or directory

After few checks, I got to know when I created .bash_profile file, below two commands already was prewritten on the file.

source /Users/mac241/.rvm/scripts/rvm
source /Users/mac241/.rvm/scripts/rvm  

based on error, I got to know this are the problems and after I removed, It started working. Hope you are written and defined those commands only which you required to auto run up on shell start.

Answer 3

Just go use ~./profile instead of ~./bash_profile

This solved my problem, hope it solves yours too

Answer 4

UPDATE

The problem was a trailing "~/.bash_profile" 38L, 1070C which I had copied by mistake from vim. Thanks for the help!
