Issue

I installed Hyper 2.0 on one of my machines last week and everything was working great. I went to add it to a new machine for work. It was the latest 2.1.0 release. After install, I tried to add the material theme and was getting bash: hyper: command not found. I searched previous issues and found some stuff about hyper possibly not existing here /usr/local/bin/hyper, but that wasn’t the case. It was there. I grabbed the 2.0.0 copy from my other machine and installed it on my new one, and everything worked fine, even after upgrading to 2.1.0. So there may be an issue with Hyper 2.1.0 and the cli tool

Just had the same issue all I had to do was: Remove whatever was at /usr/local/bin/hyper Then re-installed it with Plugins > Install Hyper CLI command in PATH and it works fine

I solved that running this command on my mac

sudo ln -s "/Applications/Hyper.app/Contents/Resources/bin/hyper" /usr/local/bin/hyper

Installing with Homebrew fixed my issue. I can now use the hyper command. Rereading this thread, I think I was actually having a different problem but nonetheless this may help.

Having the same issue. The app installed just fine, but without the CLI. Trying Plugins > Install Hyper CLI command in PATH results in the error: Symlink creation failed: EACCES.

macOS Mojave 10.14.2
Hyper.app 2.1.0

i have solved this issue , 1, uninstalling hyper.app 2.cd /usr/local/bin/ then remove directory ‘hyper’ and ‘hyperkit’ , 3, open hyper.app , finished!

On Windows you have to restart the machine/refresh environment variables for it to work. Tried restarting your computer?

Works great, thanks Sergio.

Just in case someone else runs into this issue, on my windows computer, I have Git Bash and created the /usr/local/bin directory. Then I hit Tools > Install Hyper CLI command in PATH, restarted and it worked!

Worked for me. I think this happened because I launched Hyper from my Downloads folder and then moved it into Applications. I think that the link between what had been at /usr/local/bin/hyper and actual Hyper application broke there.
