This is the same with git. I'm not sure if any other commands are like this, but I know that both of those commands are installed.

What is the exact command you're typing?

Maybe it is a path problem. Try this:

$ whereis sudo
sudo: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/lib/sudo /usr/share/man/man8/sudo.8.gz
or
$ ls /usr/bin/sudo
/usr/bin/sudo
to see if it is in the system. And then try to run it like this:

$ /usr/bin/sudo
Regards.

It's not missing the "sudo" command, the error message actually tells that "sudo" can't find the file or directory brainard52 is trying to access. (the "sudo:" part in the error tells that it's sudo that gave that error message)

brainard52: If you can give an example of a command that gave you this error, we'll probably be able to tell you what's wrong with the command.

Actually, it is giving me an error right when I first open up the terminal. I'm not sure why it's giving me this.



bash: export: `PATH:~/pogeymon-online/bin/': not a valid identifier


pogeymon-online is the name of a file that I used the git command to download. I wonder if that Had anything to do with it.

Could you post the result of this command?

$ grep -i path .bashrc

Don't type the $. That just means "run this as a normal user". A "#" means "run this as root".


grep -i path .bashrc

grep -i path .bashrc gives me
bash: grep: No such file or directory




echo $PATH gives me a blank line

It looks like you tried to customize your ~/.bashrc , you made a syntax error, and the important variable PATH got blanked.

Edit your ~/.bashrc and remove that change. Probably the line that says:

PATH:~/pogeymon-online/bin/
Hope it help.
