I can't execute arara (a command that is part of the TeXLive distribution) from the Terminal using bash shell. I can execute tex which resides in the same directory. Evans-iMac:~ evanaad$ cd ~ Evans-iMac:~ evanaad$ which tex /Library/TeX/texbin/tex Evans-iMac:~ evanaad$ echo $PATH /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/usr/local/share/dotnet:~/.dotnet/tools Evans-iMac:~ evanaad$ ls /Library/TeX/texbin ... amstex mkofm arara mkpic arlatex mkt1font ... fragmaster teckit_compile gbklatex tex gbkpdflatex tex2aspc ... Evans-iMac:~ evanaad$ which arara Evans-iMac:~ evanaad$ arara --version -bash: arara: command not found My computer is iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013) with some hardware upgrades My OS is macOS Catalina v. 10.15.7 My TeXLive version is TeX 3.141592653 (TeX Live 2024) I have jdk installed java 19.0.2 2023-01-17 (this is, afaik, the latest version that can be installed on macOS Catalina) I don’t know why this happens. How can I rectify this?
