Error in WSL in windows, command not found: sdk
Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching.
Summary
Within omz (oh-my-zsh) or zsh in the WSL runtime of Windows, sometimes you’ve installed sdkman in one terminal. The sdk worked fien, however when you open a new terminal and try to run sdk command, you’ll get following error:
sdk vesrion
zsh: command not found: sdk
Error details & solutions
The root cause is the 1st installation failed to setup sdk init variables into system envrionment. This is related to special requirement in omz .
omz using following structure to save your personal environment varaibles, i.e.
~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/example.zsh
In short, omz will scan and find any user customized variables under folder custom.
So you can add your own file , e.g. obama.zsh or update the default example.zsh.
So you’d add following line into above file.
source "/home/YOUR_USER_NAME/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"
Then run
sdk vesrion
You’ll find your favorate sdk back to working now.
Similar error
After installation of omz you’ll find some settings may stop working as well, such as following errors:
- Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:80 on “sudo apt update”
- github.com cann’t connected or fatal error
This is similar to above reason. If you are running behind corporation firewall, your HTTPS proxy were setup for bash but now you need to add it to omz and zhs. Here are some samples:
export http_proxy=http://abc.testcorp.com:8080
export https_proxy=http://abc.testcorp.com:8080
export HTTP_PROXY=http://abc.testcorp.com:8080
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://abc.testcorp.com:8080
export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=1
export NO_PROXY=localhost,nexus.abc.testcorp.com
