Nnn help - zoxide not found

lovelystar007 · August 30, 2023, 2:04pm

Hi,
I copied the autojump and created a shellscript. I installed zoxide and added its variable to the PATH. assigned NNN_PIPE=zoxide in bash file. When I invoke with shortcut it says zoxide not found. I copied zoxide in usr/bin/ and tried. what am i doing wrong?

It’s a plugin, so you have to install it from the AUR first.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zoxide-git

How did you install it? Add to PATH? If you had installed from the aur, you don’t have to add its location to PATH. The executable will be placed inside /usr/bin

Likely because you haven’t installed it.

Using git clone and added the export variable in bashrc file at the very end …

anthony93 · August 30, 2023, 2:32pm

Cloning its repository is not the same as installation.

You can just install zoxide from the arch repo

sudo pacman -S zoxide

Or zoxide-git from the AUR if you prefer the dev version.

After the installation, add

eval "$(zoxide init bash)"

to your .bashrc

lovelystar007 · August 30, 2023, 2:34pm

Installed using pacman now … added eval line to bashrc … but still no change …

anthony93 · August 30, 2023, 2:35pm

Did you add

eval "$(zoxide init bash)"

to your .bashrc and then restart your terminal?

lovelystar007 · August 30, 2023, 2:36pm

yep. Did that now. Still the same

anthony93 · August 30, 2023, 2:36pm

Post the error messages.

lovelystar007 · August 30, 2023, 2:41pm

Forget to tell you I ran the following command while trying to fix it

sudo cp /home/username/.local/bin/zoxide /usr/bin/env

Thats what causing the issue I guess.

anthony93 · August 30, 2023, 2:45pm

This is bad news, pal… What this does is that it replaces the /usr/bin/env (a core program in any linux system) binary with the zoxide executable you just cloned. The /usr/bin/env is a very important program required by many applications. Please don’t be careless with sudo commands.

Please reinstall the coreutils package.

sudo pacman -S coreutils

Hopefully, that will bring back the original /usr/bin/env executable.

lovelystar007 · August 30, 2023, 2:46pm

omg !! 1min i’ll install coreutils

anthony93 · August 30, 2023, 2:47pm

It will tell you that the package is already installed. Just reinstall it anyway.

lovelystar007 · August 30, 2023, 2:48pm

Reinstalled coreutils …

lovelystar007 · August 30, 2023, 2:49pm

Again it is showing zoxide no match found

anthony93 · August 30, 2023, 2:51pm

Can you run man env and take a screenshot? Just to make sure that /usr/bin/env is back to the way it was.

lovelystar007 · August 30, 2023, 2:52pm

man env screenshot … Hope it is back …

anthony93 · August 30, 2023, 2:57pm

Good. So that’s one problem dealt with.

Can you post the output of

ls -a ~/.config/nnn/plugins

lovelystar007 · August 30, 2023, 2:59pm

Plugins output screenshot

anthony93 · August 30, 2023, 3:00pm

Post the contents of the autojump directory.

ls -a ~/.config/nnn/plugins/autojump

anthony93 · August 30, 2023, 3:03pm

Also post all the NNN environment variables that are currently set.

printenv | grep "^NNN"
