Losing fetchd setup every time I come back to develop

[bgoober]

Hello all,

Every time I come back to develop my agent I seem to lose the ability to interact with fetchd, although the repo remains cloned on my device.

Specifically, I have to navigate back into the fetchd folder and run the following commands in order to successfully query which version of fetchd I am running, and its relative path (These commands are found in Building the Ledger) :

make build
make install
export PATH=$PATH:~/go/bin
source ~/.bashrc

At this point I can successfully run which fetchd and fetchd version and see the correct outputs. However, it seems that I have to do this EVERY time that I turn off/on my computer and come back to develop my agent. A friend is having this exact same experience/issue on his machine as well. We are both running Ubuntu 20+ LTS.

How can I avoid having to re-setup fetchd every time I come back to do some dev work? Thank you!

Hello, just add the export PATH=$PATH:~/go/bin line at the end of the ~/.bashrc file

Thank you, I think this solved it.
