Root Cause

The specified command is not installed or not in the system's PATH environment variable.

generic

中文

指定的命令未安装或不在系统的 PATH 环境变量中。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    Use exec.LookPath to verify before running: path, err := exec.LookPath("somecmd"); if err != nil { handle }
  2. 80% success 
    Provide full path: cmd := exec.Command("/usr/local/bin/somecmd")

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 90% fail

    Program fails at runtime; no fallback.

  2. 60% fail

    Path may not exist; same error.
