On my MAC, I'm typing in the chmod +x command, and getting the following error -
-bash: chmod +x: command not found
What should be done here?
echo $PATH
/Applications/apache-maven-3.8.4

When you want to use terminal commands normally, your $PATH value should be something like this: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin.
If you want to keep /Applications/apache-maven-3.8.4 as $PATH for some reason
, then you should use
/bin/chmod +x /Users/someone/Documents/some_file
instead of
chmod +x /Users/someone/Documents/some_file
Edit:
The error message included the +x as part of the name of the command that wasn't found
I figured out, that you can recreate the error by entering this command in the terminal: "chmod +x" test.txt
--> zsh: command not found: chmod +x To fix it you should do "chmod" +x test.txt.
