Troubleshooting your JITX installation
This section details how to troubleshoot possible issues with the installation process.
1. JITX is not on your PATH
jitx: command not found
Add JITX to the PATH variable:
export PATH="~/.jitx/current:$PATH"
In Mac and Linux, add the above line to your environment configuration file (~/.bashrc
, ~/.zshenv
), and close/reopen all terminal windows, including terminals in VSCode, for the change to persist.
In Windows, type setx PATH "%PATH%;%USERPROFILE%/.jitx/0.11.2/
(replace 0.11.2 with the version on your machine) in the terminal.
Verify JITX is now in your PATH:
$ jitx
Expected a command name.
2. Verifying that your JITX installation is not corrupted
Run jitx check-install
to validate that the program matches your system.
$ jitx check-install
installation-type: release
installation-dir: /home/mikedorf/.jitx
version: 0.11.2
target: ubuntu-bionic
current-target: ubuntu-bionic
3. Manual Installation
In the event that installation through VS Code cannot be completed, you can install the software manually.
Download the Software
Extract the launcher and run the installer
unzip -j jitx.zip "jitpcb.release/jitx"
./jitx install-from-zip
