Command line issues

While trying to complete install and trying to run commands such as "tzselect", "locale-gen", "ls", "lsblk", etc. I am only getting "The command could not be located because '/usr/bin' is not located in the PATH environment variable.
Where have I gone wrong...lol

Re: Command line issues

How are you logging in? What shell are you using? What does /usr/bin/echo $PATH say?

Re: Command line issues

I haven't made it to login.

Showing: root@archiso:~#

Made it to Locale in the Begginers guide and now I'm having issues.

/user/bin# echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/local/bin/:/sbin:/usr/sbin

Re: Command line issues

Where did you get/how did you create the installation CD?

Re: Command line issues

I got the installation iso from Arch and did the dd method to a usb drive. archlinux-2016.07.01-dual.iso is the one I have.

Re: Command line issues

So you are up to Configuration
Did the two previous commands execute successfully?

# genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

and

# arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash

Yes those commands went fine. After # arch-chroot things hit a wall...lol

Re: Command line issues

@OP: Please post *all* of the commands that you used up until that point.

Please post the *exact* commands rather than the vague descriptions of which you seem to be so fond.

For command output and error messages, please post verbatim output using a pastebin client:

See also the script command for recording terminal sessions.

Re: Command line issues

I suspect this is related to your other thread where you did something odd to mount the archiso from within Ubuntu.  Describe these steps.

Re: Command line issues

Guys I got Arch installed. My apologies for the vagueness. There was an error in fstab so I reinstalled and all issues were clear. I am making this post from my Arch PC! Thanks for the patience and guidance. With any further issues I will be able to post exactly what commands and errors I am getting. My next task to learn is pastebin...lol. Thanks again everyone.
