I'm more of a Windows user than a Linux user. I have the latest DMD on my Linux install (linux mint 17.3), but I wanted to test LDC. I get a message that ldc2 is not found when I type ldc2 --version or sudo ldc2 --version (I'm not on root and the existing user does not have root privileges, so I have to sudo around that folder). Here's what I did: 1) Download binary from ldc github page 2) Unpack and copy to /usr/local/bin/ldc/ldc2-1.4.0-linux-x86_64 I was concerned that the issue is that ldc2 is not in the path. When I type $PATH I get bash: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/gam s:/usr/local/games: No such file or directory Do I need to add /usr/local/bin/ldc to it also? Or am I missing out on some other step?

Yes you need to add ldc2 to your PATH. So if your ldc2 binary is in /user/something/something/folder_where_is_ldc2/ldc2 you havto add /user/something/something/folder_where_is_ldc2 to your PATH. You can test this by pasting this to terminal: export PATH=$PATH:/user/something/something/folder_where_is_ldc2 ldc2 --version On Tue, Sep 19, 2017 at 2:26 PM, jmh530 via Digitalmars-d-learn < digitalmars-d-learn puremagic.com> wrote:I'm more of a Windows user than a Linux user.

That's just like Windows, now that I think of it. Thanks.
