All, Can someone help me in the installation process of Magic? Here's the steps I have followed: 1. git clone git://opencircuitdesign.com/magic 2. cd magic 3. ./configure --prefix=/home/user/tools/magic 4. make (did not cd anywhere) 5. make install (did not cd anywhere) The process seems to have completed fine, however when I type magic -noconsole to check whether it is installed, it says "command magic not found, but can be installed with sudo apt install magic" Is there anything I am doing wrong? Thanks

you may want to add the installation directory to your PATH

export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/tools/magic/bin

Thanks Roel. This command needs to be after step 4 of my list above?

Following commands does the job of installing magic. Please try these.

git clone <https://github.com/RTimothyEdwards/magic>

cd magic/

./configure

make

sudo make install

before you run magic, Linux only looks for executable programs in the list of directories specified by the path. You can add the line to the bottom of the

.bashrc

file that you find in your home directory to avoid having to type it each time you start a new shell

Successfully installed and got it working, thanks everyone!
