I have downloaded Geany from here - https://download.geany.org/geany-1.36_osx-2.dmg After successful installation I want to open Geany from terminal, but terminal can't find it:  How can I add Geany to the Path to make it possible to open it with terminal?
Geany version: 1.36 macOS version: Catalina 10.15.4
Untested, but something like this will probably work:
```bash $ echo '/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS' >> /etc/paths ```
You probably need to be root (ie. use `sudo`).
@codebrainz , thank you, I put it into the config file instead, now it works :) ``` $ echo "path+=('/Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS')" >> ~/.zshrc ```
Closed #15.
Reopened #15.
I've noticed though that
``` sudo ln -s /Applications/Geany.app/Contents/MacOS/geany /usr/local/bin/geany ```
doesn't work and Geany won't load the shared library. I'll have a look at the problem for the next release so I'll keep this report open for now.
@techee That would be awesome, after that you could add it to the Geany official documentation, just like it is in Sublime Text documentation - https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/osx_command_line.html

Hmm, I didn't find any easy fix - when the main binary is symlinked, NSBundle returns the location of the symlink itself as the bundle path and Geany depends on this path in
https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/915cf6e8d0b63482e23564c68b2f478cc3ff9cb2...
where gtkosx_application_get_resource_path() uses the path obtained by NSBundle.
Since there is a way to put Geany into PATH, I'll close this issue.
Closed #15.
