How to add NoMachine

[PaulGureghian1]

to the $PATH on Fedora 40 with Xfce?

Can you provide more details about what you’d like to achieve?

To be able to launch both nxplayer and nxserver from anywhere in the filesystem in the terminal.

Take a look at this web page which gives instructions on how to add a directory to PATH in Linux https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-add-directory-to-path-in-linux. For example,

for only one account:

export PATH="/usr/NX/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc

for global (need to be done as root):

export PATH="/usr/NX/bin:$PATH" >> /etc/bash.bashrc

You could use aliases (edit the same files based on whether you want to set globally or locally, and add these lines):

alias nxserver=’/etc/NX/nxserver’
alias sudonxserver=’sudo /etc/NX/nxserver’

alias nxplayer=’/usr/NX/bin/nxplayer’

When I add NM to the path on Pop nxplayer launches from anywhere in the file system.
But in Fedora it doesn’t launch and gives a shared library error. been trying to fix it with no luck.
Seems the only way to launch NM on Fedora is by using the full path.

Strange. Our tests on default Fedora don’t reproduce any problems. We set this:

export PATH=”$PATH:/usr/NX/bin”

in .bashrc, and it works.
