Whenever I proceed according to these instructions: https://getmonero.org/knowledge-base/user-guides/restore_account
And type: simplewallet –restore-deterministic-wallet
It just returns:
-bash: simplewallet: command not found
Are there any formatting mistakes that I am making that are causing this error?
Elaborating on user36303's post … Adding the directory location, where Monero's binaries reside, to your PATH variable, is just as simple as adding a line such a the following to the end of the .profile file in your home directory (in the below example, the Monero directory is /opt/monero).
PATH="${PATH}:/opt/monero"
This will avoid the command not found error. Next, you can check if the PATH edit works properly:
mac:~ dpzz$ which simplewallet
/opt/monero/simplewallet
It's a formatting issue with the website. The correct command is indeed ./simplewallet --restore-deterministic-wallet. Note that flags always start with -- and not –. Thus, if you ever encounter that again in a guide, ignore it and use --.
