#

Add the Spicetify path to your shell RC file, like the message says.

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:22 AM

#

pretend for a second idk what half of that means 😭

#

could u break down how i do that

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:23 AM

#

Are you using zsh or bash?

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:23 AM

#

umm

#

i dont know 😭

#

zsh

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:25 AM

#

Then make a .zshrc file if you don't have one, and paste that stuff it told you to put in into it

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:25 AM

#

how do i make one

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:25 AM

#

The two export lines

#

You can right click and make a new text file?

#

Or use any text editor

#

Or run "touch .zshrc"

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:28 AM

#

📎 text.txt

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:29 AM

#

Yeah but call it ".zshrc" and put it in your home folder

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:30 AM

#

okay done that

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:30 AM

#

Like in /Users/apple

#

Then open a new terminal and see if it works

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:30 AM

#

okay

#

#

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:32 AM

#

It needs to be called .zshrc

#

Like that is literally it

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:32 AM

#

ohh i see

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:32 AM

#

Nothing before it

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:32 AM

#

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:33 AM

#

Stupid finder

#

Have to rename it with something else I guess

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:33 AM

#

i'll see if i can use google

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:33 AM

#

Like "save as" in your text editor

#

Or run mv text.zshrc .zshrc in the terminal

#

^ that's the command to rename it. Should work

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:35 AM

#

weird

#

i'll try what u said before

#

i just renamed and its vanished from my user thing

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:40 AM

#

Good. The dot makes it hidden

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:40 AM

#

ohh

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:40 AM

#

That's why it complains, cause they assume nobody knows what they're doing and won't let you do it easily

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:40 AM

#

i dont know what im doing to be fair with them loool

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:40 AM

#

If you hit CMD shift period, it should show hidden files

#

Is it there?

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:42 AM

#

oh yeah

#

so now do i try running the installer thing in terminal again

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:44 AM

#

No just try running spicetify

#

In a new terminal

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:45 AM

#

#

oh wait

#

nvm

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:45 AM

#

Got it?

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:46 AM

#

no

#

i thought i'd typed it wrong

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:46 AM

#

The entire point of putting it in the $PATH is so you don't need to use the full file path and can just run spicetify

#

Did you try that?

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:47 AM

#

is this good

#

looks good

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:47 AM

#

Yep

#

You're good now

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:47 AM

#

oh sick

#

so do i run install again

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:47 AM

#

No it's installed

languid ivy Sep 9, 2022, 3:47 AM

#

awesome

tired glade Sep 9, 2022, 3:48 AM

#

You can run spicetify apply to enable it

#

And follow the docs or the help stuff it outputs, to backup, restore, etc
