-bash: cd: /usr/local/bin: No such file or directory

Is there something that I need other than the directions are stating. My husband added python because he didn't think my computer was running it, but that hasn't helped the situation. Please treat me like the clueless for whom you posted how to access the command line. I can take it

Thanks

Thanks
Actually I think Deb had this problem too. Apparently /usr/local/bin doesn't exsit be default.

instead do...

cd /usr/local

If that works do

sudo mkdir bin

Then do

cd /usr/local/bin

Make sure /usr/local/bin is in your path by going to /etc and edit the paths file...

You can do the following at the command line...

cd /etc
sudo pico paths

Here is what mine contains:

/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin

Then continue on with creating the symbolic link.
