Description

sudo mkdir -p /etc/paths.d && \ echo /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin | \ sudo tee /etc/paths.d/postgresapp

Give me this error: -bash: sudo: command not found

Possible Solutions

Remove the \, it works better all in a single line

sudo mkdir -p /etc/paths.d && echo /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin | sudo tee /etc/paths.d/postgresapp

OR make sure that you have a new line after each line (must work with copy/paste), like this:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/paths.d && \
echo /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin | \
sudo tee /etc/paths.d/postgresapp 

Your full name so we can provide accurate credit within the book
