#666 Not working on m3 pro mac

[Stefan]

Hi, I downloaded the Mac command line package from your site (7z2501-mac.tar.xz).
After I extracted everything I copied a zip file I need to extract into the same directory as 7zip.

When I type the command 7z - x I get an error saying command not found. Same if I type 7zz.
I'm a relative newbie to this command line thing, but I assumed the command would be in the decompressed folder.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1

If you have unpacked it then it is `7zz'.
MacOS is *nix and likely does not include current path in search path, so you have to call program with full or at least relative path to executable, which would be ./7zz.
You may want to put this executable in search path (`$PATH') like `/usr/local/bin' or in your own directory like `$HOME/bin' (where `$HOME' is user's home directory) and add this directory to the end of search path. You may even add . to your sear path to avoid need for ./ in case of current directory executables.

Awesome!
that worked,
thanks for handholding me through the process.

Have a great day

@ipavlov: you could change the title to:
Not working on m3 pro mac (command not found)
So it could be easily found and next person with that problem would find it via search, whether on SF of in search engine.
