fix-path

Fix the $PATH on macOS and Linux when run from a GUI app

Useful for Electron apps as GUI apps on macOS and Linux do not inherit the $PATH defined in your dotfiles (.bashrc/.bash_profile/.zshrc/etc).

Install

npm install fix-path

Usage

import fixPath from 'fix-path';

console.log(process.env.PATH);
//=> '/usr/bin'

fixPath();

console.log(process.env.PATH);
//=> '/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin'
