Research direction

The report shows that gem install slather succeeds but the slather command is missing from the shell, including in run-sonar.sh. Start by checking how the gem executable is installed and whether its directory is on the user's PATH; done means slather -v and the script can find the command. The issue has had no comment for 1,685 days, so there is no recent evidence of maintainer help.

Description

I had installed slather. But when I used 'slather' command, it point out '-bash: slather: command not found'.

$ sudo gem install slather Fetching slather-2.7.0.gem Successfully installed slather-2.7.0 Parsing documentation for slather-2.7.0 Installing ri documentation for slather-2.7.0 Done installing documentation for slather after 0 seconds 1 gem installed $ slather -v -bash: slather: command not found

So did I run the 'run-sonar.sh'.
run-sonar.sh: line 27: slather: command not found

Please help me to resolve this problem. Thank you!
