Is there a reason the command 'mongo' works in VSCode terminal but not iTerm2 zsh terminal-CodePudding

I just installed oh-my-zsh on iTerm2 and have been working on a project with MongoDB/node.

Now when I try to start the db with command 'mongo' I get a return 'zsh: command not found: mongo'

the command works perfectly fine in the built-in terminal for VSCode.

would like to be able to use iTerm exclusively instead of the vscode terminal.

CodePudding user response：

Go to VSCode terminal and execute:
```
echo "$PATH" 
```
Check where the mongo binary is located:
```
which mongo
brew info mongo
```
Go to your zsh and add to your .zshrc file the path where mongo is located:
```
export PATH="$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin" 
```
If you do not add the path you will still be able to run it like:
```
/opt/homebrew/bin/mongo 
```

CodePudding user response：

I'm not sure why, but when I went directly into the .zshrc file and added this line

export PATH="$PATH:/opt/homebrew/bin"

the command 'mongo' still didn't start the db.

BUT..

I figured it out. Instead of opening my .zshrc and editing it I just edited my path with this little line here with the path described by R2D2

path =/opt/homebrew/bin/

Command 'mongo' is working perfectly now!
