Adding eiipm to path

This is a very important step which people are likely to miss. By default, eiipm installs binaries to ~/.eiipm/bin directory. But your shell doesn't know about it yet.

So, when you run something like bin-you-installed after installing a binary from eiipm, your shell will go like "Oh, let me check in all the known areas. Nope, bin-you-installed is not installed..."

So, you should add export PATH="$HOME/.eiipm/bin:$PATH" to your shell's configuration file.

Here is an example on how to do it:

# Replace ~/.zshrc with your shell's configuration file.
# For example, if you use bash, then it would be ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.eiipm/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

I use zsh, so I added the line export PATH="$HOME/.eiipm/bin:$PATH" in ~/.zshrc but if you use something else, you should replace the ~/.zshrc with your own shell's confiuration file.

For example, if you use bash, add that line in ~/.bashrc.

NOTE: If you dont want to use echo to add it, then you can manually edit your configuration file and add the line export PATH="$HOME/.eiipm/bin:$PATH" in there.
