Setting a variable to a path to a program then running the variable does not run the program [on hold]












0














I have a program on /usr/local/bin/prog1 and the data directory already on /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/prog1.



I try to set up the environments to run prog1 like this: 



PROG1=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/prog1:/usr/local/bin/prog1

export PROG1


But when I run PROG1, the output errors appears: 



$ PROG1

PROG1: command not found


OR I try to run $PROG1, the output errors appears: 



$ $PROG1

-bash: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/prog1:/usr/local/bin/prog1: No such file or directory


How can I run my Prog1 on my portable environments??



Thanks in advance.

    "data directory" meaning what exactly? /usr/local/bin should already be in the default PATH and python should search /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages for modules by default - what exactly doesn't work if you simply type prog1?

Command names are case-sensitive, like filenames. Run prog1, not PROG1.



But for the record, I'm confused about everything else in your question.






share|improve this answer





















  • PROG1 is the variable OP assigned the path of prog1 to. Perhaps they are trying to run it without typing the full path. But as steeldriver mentioned, the executable seems to be in PATH, so running prog1 should work (but not for the reason you are suggesting!)
    – Zanna
    Dec 30 '18 at 19:24










  • @Zanna $PROG1 is a colon-delimited list of paths (actually the same path twice). I assume it's an environment variable used by prog1, like PYTHONPATH is used by python. But ultimately the question's not clear enough.
