Bash script with limited path
I'm trying to write my first bash script to essentially install a bunch of dependencies and then execute a script.
I'm struggling debugging this with the user b/c I'm a dev which means I already have a bunch of tools installed (such as homebrew, ruby, node, etc) and my user has a fresh install of OSX. I want this script to work with all new users with fresh installs of OSX.
I am trying to export a bare bones PATH at the beginning of my script simply for debugging purposes to mimic the users fresh install.
My issue at hand is that I'm not sure how to actually reference node or npm specifically so that I can run npm install.
You can see what my echo's are producing. Any ideas how to properly install node/npm and then execute it?
#!/bin/bash
# Install necessary deps and runs script to create user for the DEV environment.
# Mainly used for non engineers to be able to create their own emails.
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin::/usr/local
echo $PATH
# Install homebrew
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
# Install node 8
/usr/local/bin/brew install node@8
# Install npm - https://stackoverflow.com/a/36631430/222403
/usr/local/bin/brew postinstall node@8
echo /usr/local/bin/brew --prefix node@8 = $(/usr/local/bin/brew --prefix node@8)
echo which node = $(which node) --> PRINTS which node =
echo which node@8 = $(which node@8) --> PRINTS which node@8 =
echo which npm = $(which npm) --> prints which npm =

Where arenodeandnpmbeing installed? It could be that they are updatingPATHduring the installation process, but that change is not reflected in your script. If you know the install path, use the absolute path (as you have done for brew). You could also try re-sourcing your profile (source ~/.bash_profile, on Mac) as that is where any changes to a user'sPATHwould be made.

According to the documentation Homebrew will install in /usr/local/bin, so you either need to add :/usr/local/bin to your PATH or run /usr/local/bin/node (and ditto for the other programs).

According to the documentation Homebrew will install in /usr/local/bin, so you either need to add :/usr/local/bin to your PATH or run /usr/local/bin/node (and ditto for the other programs).
