The local psql command could not be located - sql

I'm following the instructions found here.
When I try to run $ heroku pg:psql or $ heroku pg:psql HEROKU POSTGRESQL_BROWN I recieve the following error message:
! The local psql command could not be located ! For help
installing psql, see local-postgresql
I can't find anything useful on the link it gives me (it just links to the instructions I was already using, but further down the page) nor can I find this error anywhere else.
If I've missed anything you need to know to answer this, just let me know. I'm rather new to all this and teaching myself as I go.

I had same error even after installing Postgres locally.
But after seeing this
I saw that "pqsl" was not in the PATH so I then did
PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.2\bin
which worked for me

I have since solved this myself. When I ran heroku pg:info it says the version number is 9.1.8, I was locally running 9.2
installing 9.1.8 and ensuring Path pointed to the appropriate folder solved the problem.

After you change the path, make sure to restart the terminal!

Set the PATH. To find out the PATH of your psql script (on mac) open the sql shell script from your finder in Applications/Postgres installation. This will give you a hint as to where it is installed. That opened a window which told me it is located here: /Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/scripts/runpsql.sh
Then, I set the PATH variable from the terminal window by typing:
$ PATH="/Library/PostgreSQL/8.4/bin:$PATH"
(depends on the location of your PostgreSQL installation, find your bin path first, another exp: /usr/local/Cellar/postgresql#9.6/9.6.8/bin)
OR.....
You can also connect to the shell by opening the shell directly from your postgres installation folder. Then enter the credentials. If you don't know the credentials, here is how to find them out:
$ heroku pg:info
=== HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_RED_URL (DATABASE_URL)
$ heroku pg:credentials HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_RED_URL

Top answer wouldn't work for me oddly, my system would not add the Path via cmd with administrator access (Not sure why).
So check this > Windows key > environment variables > system variables
And add the last line (your version may differ in the path)

Make sure you've installed the toolbelt as psql is installed by default.
However you also need to ensure you've installed a local copy of PostgreSQL; if you don't the toolbelt will be unable to find the native psql client.
Assuming you have installed a local copy of PostgreSQL, make sure you can execute psql from the command line directly (i.e make sure you PATH is set correctly ). If the command does not execute, check your PATH, if it does execute see if you can connect via the PSQL connection string provided in the Heroku control panel. If you can connect reinstall the toolbelt, if you are unable to connect provision another dev database and try again.
If there are still issues, I would suggest contacting Heroku support for assistance after verifying no API issues are listed on the status page located here.

I got rid if this annoying message on Windows by adding a path element without the spaces, i.e.
C:\Progra~1\PostgreSQL\9.4\data
instead of
“C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.4\data”

I followed the instructions here: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm, which worked for me if you prefer to go the point-and-click configuration of the PATH variable.

This type of error usually appears in the Windows environment, because if you do not update the PATH after installing Postgresql, heroku pg:psql command does not work.
So you need to update your PATH environment variable to add the bin directory of your Postgres installation. The directory will look like this:
C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\<VERSION>\bin.
For more information, go to the Heroku in Local setup website:
heroku-postgresql: Local setup

I had the same problem and discovered that Heroku doesn't seem to provision the latest version of PostgreSQL by default. Where the Heroku Getting Started instructions said
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev
That provisioned a v10 database for some reason (which you can check by clicking on Heroku Postgres in the Add-ons tab of your dashboard). I deleted that database and provisioned a new database using the --version flag:
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev --version 11
As of now, at least, you can find the latest version of Postgres supported by Heroku at this link: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgresql#version-support-and-legacy-infrastructure
I'm writing this in early 2019, but according to the PostgreSQL website the next version (12) is "tentatively scheduled" for third quarter of 2019 so if you're reading this in late 2019 potentially the same problem will come up for v12 instead

On Mac you can use the following:
export PATH="/Library/PostgreSQL/12/bin/:$PATH"

The only solution that I found on Windows:
go to advanced system settings
go to environment variables
select Path variable and click Edit
add a new line and enter your bin directory path (C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL<version>\bin) and click ok
restart your terminal
enter your psql command (heroku pg:psql)

Issue with Postgres on windows 10

I have installed PostgreSQL 13 on windows 10
When I tried to run this command:
$ which Postgres on Git Bash, It returns which: no Postgres in (/c/Users*ahmedeid/......
Could you help me solve the issue?
It seems that your PostgreSQL installation's bin directory is not on the PATH, so you cannot find the server executable.
You'll have to modify the PATH environment variable appropriately.
Another possibility is that your bash was already running when you installed PostgreSQL, so that its PATH setting is out of date. Try closing bash and start a new one. Maybe that one has the correct setting.

Unable create tc server instance on sts 4

Creating server from server window in sts gives me this error. I am choosing base template to create server. I also tried using cmd with admin rights, still same error.
Error Details:create command failed. String runtimes not valid version format. Expected ,,[.patch][.release]
Reason: Error creating server instance with command:
D:\Users\pivotal location..\tcserver.bat create server -v runtimes -t base --property base.runtime.user=null --java-home C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_191. Check access permission for the directory D:\Users\pivotal location.. and its files and subdirectories.
Can't share the picture didn't have reputation.
It looks like the Pivotal tc Server installation sits in a read-only location on your disc or with limited write permissions. I would recommend to install tc-Server into a directory where you have full permissions, configure that install in STS, and try again. That should help.
You will get ahead if you provide a proper tc runtime version at the -v option. E.g. if you have the tc runtime tomcat-9.0.12.A.RELEASE installed, take "9.0.12.A.RELEASE" as runtime version.
Unfortunately you will not be out of the woods by doing so. Although a server instance will be created, there will be another error message: "The specified server is not valid. The .tc-runtime-instance file is missing.". There will be a .tc-runtime-instance-file in your instance-dir, but without any content. That's the point where I am currently sticking.

Lucee Express on local Dev

I’m currently running window 7, ACF 11, and IIS 7 and would like to install Lucee express to try.
I’m having the hardest time getting Lucee to work on my local desktop. I followed this article http://www.gpickin.com/index.cfm/blog/setting-up-lucee-in-my-dev-environment-changing-ports I can’t get the Lucee welcome page to work.
I download the Lucee Express from here http://lucee.org/downloads.html
I extract the file to C:\lucee
Ran the C:\lucee\bin\startup.bat
Navigated to 127.0.0.1:8888
I get the follow message: Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8888
Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance for your insights.
As identified in the comments on the question: you are missing the environment variable pointing to your Java runtime (you need one of JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME.
This can be achieved in one of a coupla ways.
Set it globally:
Control Panel > System > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables > System Variables > New...
Or set it for just that environment by editing the startup.bat file you've already been using:
SET JAVA_HOME=[path]
In both situations you need a path to either a JRE or a JDK. You say you have CF11 already installed, so you can simply point to its one, which will be a subdirectory of your CF install, as Leigh points out above. So something like:
SET JRE_HOME=D:\apps\Adobe\ColdFusion\11\express\jre
If you have a Java JDK installed instead and want to use that, use JAVA_HOME instead of JRE_HOME, eg:
SET JAVA_HOME=D:\apps\Oracle\Java\jdk\1.8.0_60
As these things can be installed anywhere, you'll just need to locate 'em and use the path accordingly. You want to point it to the top level directory of your JRE or JDK, which contains the bin subdirectory.

SQLDeveloper not starting

When i try to start SQLDeveloper, it is giving me the following error in command prompt:
Error: This product requires a Java(TM) Platform 5.0 runtime.
You are using 1.4.2-b28 from C:\j2sdk1.4.2\jre
But my JAVA_HOME is set to java 6
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_32
Can anyone explain what exactly to do to resolve this?
Oracle SQL Developer uses a configuration file named products.conf which is situated at your roaming directory.
If you are using Windows 7 then the directory path will be:
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\sqldeveloper\1.0.0.0.0
Delete whole sqldeveloper directory from C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\
Re run sqldeveloper executable, this will prompt for jdk home
Select jdk home. i.e C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_55
Enjoy!
In my case i had 2 folders under C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\
sqldeveloper
SQL developer
after removing both of them and launching installation dir\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper64.exe it worked.
True acknowledgement / attribution belongs to Vishal at the following URL:
http://vishalorcl.blogspot.com/2012/12/sql-developer-from-11201-client-software.html. It describes in detail how to resolve this problem. From the page:
I am running Oracle 11g version of SQLDeveloper. I have same problem
noted above, after fresh install of Oracle. The summary is that
SQLDeveloper seems to require the Java 32-bit JDK.
Install 32-bit jdk V7 from Oracle:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html
There is a sqldeveloper.conf file located in
C:\app\UserName\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin
In the file change pathname within the line at end of file:
SetJavaHome C:\app\admin\product\11.2.0\client_1\jdk
To point to pathname of the jdk install directory; also sometimes
known as JAVA_HOME.
I had this problem too!
you should go to: C:\Users-your user name-\AppData\Roaming\sqldeveloper-version of your sql developer-
there is a file named product.conf there. Right click on it and edit it with notepad in the document change the address of java home and save it.
Done!
In my case, none of the other suggestions worked. Instead, I moved the installation directory from
c:\sqldeveloper
to
anything else
And things worked again. Perhaps, some Windows registry value got broken in an unfixable way...
I don't think SQLDeveloper uses the environment variable. There should be a .conf file that contains a reference to the JDK directory.
I solved this by deleting the folder /home/USERNAME/.sqldeveloper
After that, I started SQLDeveloper and without typing anything, it found the right java-version and started without complaining :-)
So, if you don't want to delete the whole folder, maybe search there for the file which defines the java-version :-)
edit: just found that:
"Type the full pathname of a J2SE installation (or Ctrl-C to quit), the path
will be stored in ~/.sqldeveloper/jdk"
check the version of java that you are installing to you Pc the error show that you are using 4 so uninstall the java that you have then install a new one that is version higher than 5
Removing the instances from the registry worked for me.

rvm install fails with or without rvmrc

I'm using rvmrc with the following text:
rvm_path=/local/rvm
(on Ubuntu 11.10) but trying to install gives an obscure error:
$ bash < <(curl -s https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/install/rvm)
Successfully checked out branch ''
Current branch master is up to date.
Successfully pulled (rebased) from origin
: No such file or directory
Any ideas?
You have no need at all to set $rvm_path. You're using a multi-user install. Please follow the explicit instructions for the Multi-User install at https://rvm.io and remove any existing installations, remove /etc/rvmrc, /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh, and $HOME/.rvmrc. Comment out any RVM sourcing lines in your .bash_profile, and .bashrc and log out of the machine then back in. Then reinstall correctly. Setting the rvm_path has never been a requirement of the installer UNLESS you already have a Multi-User working installation in place, and you want to attempt to use a per-user install with it. THEN you would preset the $rvm_path to $HOME/.rvm in your own $HOME/.rvmrc, log out then back in and then attempt the install again. BUT, that is not a supported installation type. Which is why 99.999% of users will not need to set rvm_path at all.
The real problem was that the git configuration for auto-converting line endings was not set correctly which prevented any installation from working. It had nothing to do with using rvmrc settings.
The fix for this is simple (and comes straight from the github help page):
$ git config --global core.autocrlf input
Line endings are important in linux and by forgetting that setting, everything the rvm-install script was pulling from github had \r\n endings. I made that change so long ago on my work machine, I didn't even remember it -- but it was not set on my home system.
I'll leave it up in case someone else has the same problem.
