[SOLVED]zsh: permission denied: app

I build applications via repositories, but it's impossible to launch them via zsh.
(beginner in the field of compilation)
context :
build ncspot in ~/.local/bin/ncspot
- path ~/.local/bin is in .zshrc
- folder tree is user-defined (drwxr-xr-x)
- the ncspot binary is executable (-rwxr-xr-x) and in the user's name.
- If I place myself in the current ncspot folder and launch via ./ncspot, it works.

is this normal?
should i build in sudo? or copy the binary to /usr/bin?

Re: [SOLVED]zsh: permission denied: app

How exactly did you add the path? Did you source '.zshrc' afterwards?

EDIT: Anyway: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zsh#Configuring_$PATH

I export the path ~/.local/bin as in the zsh wiki, except that I've added it to the .zprofile with a shebang.
It works for me:

 ❯ printenv | grep "PATH"
PATH=/home/nico/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/usr/lib/rustup/bin
GOPATH=/home/nico/.local/share/go

If this is solved, please edit the title as such, otherwise

ls -la ~/.local/bin
which ncspot

?

Re: [SOLVED]zsh: permission denied: app

For the majority of those apps there should be PKGBUILDs already, so you can install them with pacman...
As for $PATH, the executable/binary needs to be in a directory that's in $PATH...

EDIT: 'telegram-desktop' is already in the 'extra' repo - same for 'discord'... even 'ncspot'...
EDIT#2: Removed the AUR from the equation

Re: [SOLVED]zsh: permission denied: app

executables must be specifically in the path, not in the tree :) I understand better.
a simple simlink solved the problem thanks!

EDIT#2: Removed the AUR from the equation

EDIT:
telegram and discord are .appimage (with their .desktop) sometimes need build with certain options.
in the case of ncspot, it's the album covers.
we can modify the PKGBUILD to enable this feature, but do it every time grrrrrr :)
