Can't find a way to launch PCSX2

Hi guys!

I installed PCSX2 with pacman and I remember being able to launch it from the command line with "pcsx2".
However I can't get it to work, it just says "command not found". I also tried installing from AUR but it's the same thing.
I didn't get any error message and both installations went by smoothly.
Then I tried adding the emulator to steam from the list but it doesn't show up, while every other application I installed does.

I tried using the search function of both this forum and the pcsx2 one. I've also looked at both wikis, but I couldn't find anything.

I'm pretty sure this is a dumb question and I just missed something really obvious, but I've been bashing my head for hours without progress.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Do any of the commands listed in this webpage work?

linux is case sensitive pcsx2 will not match the binary from the arch package pcsx2.

Ok so, I forgot I uninstalled pcsx2 before installing the AUR version.
After installing it and running the command you gave me it says

pcsx2 /usr/bin/
pcsx2 /usr/bin/PCSX2
pcsx2 /usr/bin/PCSX2-linux.sh

but when I try to run the .sh it says permission denied

Re: Can't find a way to launch PCSX2

Ok I solved it by writing PCSX2 instead of pcsx2. I tried doing that but it didn't work earlier, probably because I forgot I uninstalled it lol.
Sorry for the dumb question and thank you.
