ZSH: Sudo: command not found

Hi,

I installed zsh and created a sample .zshrc using the first run utility. I also installed zim from aur.

When running commands via sudo I get a command not found error.

% sudo zimfw install
[sudo] password for clarg: 
sudo: zimfw: command not found

But the commands work fine without sudo.

Re: ZSH: Sudo: command not found

Please post the full content of ~/.zshrc and also the output of

type zimfw
sudo -l
echo "$PATH"
sudo echo "$PATH"

What was the actual AUR package that was installed? There is no zim package so do you actually mean zsh-zim-git?

Re: ZSH: Sudo: command not found

You're missing "type zimfw", but https://github.com/zimfw/zimfw/blob/4fe … w.zsh#L725 says it's a shell function and you cannot and should not (have to) sudo that.
What's your plan here? What are you trying to do and why?

Edit: ah.

x powerlevel10k: Error creating /usr/lib/zim/modules/powerlevel10k
  mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/usr/lib/zim/modules/powerlevel10k’: Permission denied

You'll require a root shell w/ zimfw sourced for those kinds of shenanigans. Not "sudo something", but "sudo -i" and there "something"
