All,

I’m new to Q/KDB+, just downloaded the Linux package (trial version) from KX Downloads and setting up Q in my PC but couldn’t able to run it. Please help.

root@rr:~# uname -a

Linux rr 3.2.0-4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 i686 GNU/Linux

root@rr:~# cd /home/rr/q

root@rr:/home/rr/q# ls

l32  q.k  q.q  README.txt  s.ksp.q  trade.q

root@rr:/home/rr/q# cd l32

root@rr:/home/rr/q/l32# ls -ltr

total 532

-rwxr-xr-x 1 rr rr 542809 Apr  4 04:43 q

root@rr:/home/rr/q/l32# q

bash: q: command not found

Regards,

Raman

Hi Raman,

try running

./q

or

$HOME/rr/q/l32/q

or adding $HOME/rr/q/l32 to your path with

$export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/rr/q/l32

Explained here
