Nevermind, ignore the time crate error, I found the relevant issues and solutions in this repo! #3131 (comment) |
During tests on a new VM with fish, avm was available immediately after installation of the dependencies and avm itself, without adding the cargo/bin to path or reloading the shell. However, in case someone else installed rust in a way that cargo/bin was not accessible by the system path, maybe it is important to leave in these path update sections. My apologies for the delay, and please let me know if there's anything else I should do.

Thank you for your feedback. I ran some tests in a fresh VM with fish, and noticed that avm is available in the same shell session without updating the fish path or reloading the shell. However, I looked up how to add cargo/bin to the system path for fish, and made some other minor syntax edits for consistency. Sorry for the wall of text, let me know if you need anything else. Also, the time error was present there as well for attempting to use
Should I make a separate PR and link to the solution in #3131 (comment) from the official documentation for getting started? I forgot to take a picture, but the same issue occurred with the time crate in the VM fish avm installation that required the 3131 solution. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.

Making changes to published crates is not really a great solution, especially when there are easier solutions such as running:
rustup default 1.79.0 && avm install <VERSION>I don't think it's necessary to mention this in documentation because the problem is fixed already. We just need a new release (#3259), but it's currently on hold because of something external.
Problem:
While following the documentation to install
avm, my system was unable to locate theavmcommand. This was due to the absence of the Cargo binary directory ($HOME/.cargo/bin) in my system PATH. While this issue may stem from my own Rust installation, it might benefit users to have a reminder in the documentation about the necessity of including the Cargo binary directory in the system PATH for the successful execution ofavm install latest.Proposed Solution:
I suggest updating the documentation to include instructions for adding the entire Cargo binary directory to the system PATH. This will help users avoid similar issues and streamline their installation process.
Additional Concern:
avm install latestfails on my system, as doesavm install 0.29.0(both with the same error):Thank you for considering this PR!
