Bash file shows “ln: command not found”

Question

I\'m trying to create a bash script to setup my development environment. The script is running as root but I get the error line 11: ln: command not found

Answer 1

PATH tells the shell where to look for commands. In your case, it looks for ln somewhere in /etc and predictably doesn't find it there.

You should use a different name.

Answer 2

PATH=...

Congratulations, you've clobbered how the shell finds commands. Don't do that.
