Particle CLI with Zsh instead of Bash

Developer Tools Particle Workbench

I’m a Mac user who recently upgraded to Catalina. I’d like to know if it’s possible to install and use Particle CLI in Z shell instead of switching between zsh and bash. And if not, are there any plans for this in the future?

Thanks

Install the Particle CLI in bash, then:

Add this to ~/.zprofile. You can also copy and paste it from ~/.profile:


# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists                             

if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then

    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"

Worked perfectly – thanks @rickkas7

I’m using oh-my-zsh and should have read the very first line of the .zshrc file:

# If you come from bash you might have to change your $PATH.
# export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH

All I needed to do was uncomment that export line to get the Particle-CLI working again.

Any suggestions on how to make this work from within VSCode as well when you launch the Particle CLI?

The suggested fixes don’t seem to fix that problem.
Thanks!
