Add Programs
The add command will add a program shortcut to your terminal, but will not execute the program. After adding the program, you will be able to run it by inputting its name as you would a command. To determine the available programs, simply execute the add command by itself to retrieve a list. This is only in effect for the current terminal session.
eos$ add
- to determine available programs
eos$ add programname
- to add the program programname to your current session
Example:
To add, then execute, nano, a notepad/text editor that can be run in the terminal window:
eos$ add nano
eos$ nano
Should I expect an output?
Yes:
nano version 2.9.3 has been added to your environment
Usage: nano [ options ] [[+LINE,COLUMN] FILE]…
Type:
prompt% man nano
