sudo & chown command not found? Ask Question

I have a rails project which I think has been created as root. I want to change the permissions so that the owner is not root but my user.
I found a command here on stackoverflow to achieve this.

sudo chown -R $(username):$(username) Directoryname

So to change it so that my user owns it I am running this:

sudo chown -R $(Jack):$(Jack) APIClient

However I get the error:

sudo: chown: command not found

If i just run chown without sudo I get:

zsh: command not found: chown

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I think it may be to do with my zsh but not sure.
Thanks for any help.

I think you can do it with command "chmod" too. isn't it? – SSR May 17 '14 at 17:46
Take a look this link : cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-use-chmod-and-chown-command – SSR May 17 '14 at 17:47
@SSR I've seen that link but like above running any of those gives me chown command not found?? – jckly May 17 '14 at 17:53

run whereis sudo chown and check if you have these paths added to your $PATH variable (you can display it by running echo $PATH) – kaman May 17 '14 at 18:54

You probably have sudo path already added since it's (or at least should be)in the same directory as whereis. You probably need to add /usr/sbin dir and I assume you run osx so just echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin" >> ~/.bash_profile (you may need to close and open your terminal again to see any effect) – kaman May 17 '14 at 19:28

So @kaman helped me fix the problem in the comments above.
Turns out I didn't have the links to chown in my $PATH variable.
To fix this I added the following to my .zshrc file. However as kaman has put in the comments above If you're running bash just put it in the .bash_profile

export PATH="$PATH:/usr/sbin"

【执行sudo命令时command|执行sudo命令时command not found的解决办法】Thanks kaman and hope this helps anyone else who gets the same error.
