ORBS Reduction FAQ

How can I have access to ORBS commands ?

There are a lot of different ways to get ORBS commands like any other OS commands on a UNIX-like system. Here are two possibilities:

If you have administrator rights

  • Linux Mac You can create a symbolic link in one of the folders /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin to the ORBS command (but you need to do this for each command you want to add), e.g.:

    sudo ln -s /opt/orbs/scripts/orbs /usr/local/bin/orbs
    
  • Linux You can also modify the file /etc/profile by adding this line at the end of the file (this way all the command contained in the scripts folder of ORBS will be added):

    export PATH=$PATH:/opt/orbs/scripts/
    

If you only are a simple user

  • Linux Mac You can modify the file in your home folder ~/.profile by adding the line at the end of the file (this way all the command contained in the scripts folder of ORBS will be added):

    export PATH=$PATH:/opt/orbs/scripts/
    

Note

Either way you have to logout and login to see the changes.
