Fastlane command not found

Question

I am trying to install fastlane. I have Xcode installed. I installed fastlane using the command sudo gem install fastlane. I now go into my project folder and type fastlane init and get the error:

-bash: fastlane: command not found.

I see that fastlane is installed and can see it here

/Users/username/.gem/ruby/2.0.0/gems/fastlane-1.70.0/bin

on my Mac.

I tried adding this to my PATH, but I still get the same error. My path is

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:./Users/username/.gem/ruby/2.0.0/gems/

What am I missing here?

Answer 1

Add the following line to your bash profile:

export PATH="$HOME/.fastlane/bin:$PATH"

You can either close the terminal session and restart it or run source ~/.bash_profile to load your configuration and then you can go so you start using fastlane 🚀

Answer 2

I got run into similar issue last week. I installed fastlane using homebrew on mac, but it was showing the same error.

I tried installing it using Ruby and it worked like a charm. Here is the command.

sudo gem install fastlane -NV

Also seems like you have not installed command line tools for xcode.

Install them using xcode-select --install

I met this issue because of installing zsh, the below two steps solve my problem:

1. open ~/.zshrc

2. save path

   2.1 if you install fastlane with Homebrew

   Copy export PATH="$HOME/.fastlane/bin:$PATH" on the bottom line.

   2.2 if you install fastlane with RubyGems

   Copy export PATH="/usr/local/bin/fastlane"" on the bottom line.

3. save upon file and try fastlane init, everything is OK!

Answer 4

1. In the terminal type cd ~/ to go to your home folder
2. Type touch .bash_profile to create your new empty file
3. Type open -e .bash_profile to open the file
4. Enter export PATH="$HOME/.fastlane/bin:$PATH" and save
5. Restart terminal (not sure needed?)
