Answer 1

If you are using OS X, you might have to create your .bash_profile file before running the installation command. That did it for me.

Create the profile file

touch ~/.bash_profile

Re-run the install and you'll see a relevant line in the output this time.

=> Appending source string to /Users/{username}/.bash_profile

Reload your profile (or close/re-open the Terminal window).

.  ~/.bash_profile
