Question

I try to work with a project in vagrant   I have made the command vagrant ssh  and connected to VM  Now I need to edit  bashrc file to set path to the source code  But first I couldn t find that file  So I googled and find that the way is call command    bashrc  But doing this I get message  that I have no access to it    vagrant nupic-vagrant        bashrc -bash   home vagrant  bashrc  Permission denied   So what to do now   UPD  I can t find the  bashrc file  When I try to make command ls -a I get following    vagrant nupic-vagrant     ls -a                 bash logout   cleanup sh   sshd sh         veewee params                 bash profile  minimize sh  vagrant sh      veewee version  bash history   bashrc         ssh          vbox version   zsh profile  vagrant nupic-vagrant     locate  bashrc  etc skel  bashrc  home vagrant  bashrc  var chef backup etc skel  bashrc chef-20130614181911  var chef backup home vagrant  bashrc chef-20130614181912  vagrant nupic-vagrant       But only the place where I can find some of those files is the directory where cygwin is installed  Pls  see illustrations  they reflect relations between directories vagrant and cygwin

If you want to edit that file  or any file in generally   you can t edit it simply writing its name in terminal  You must to use a command to a text editor to do this  For example   nano    bashrc   or   gedit    bashrc   And in general  for any type of file   xdg-open    bashrc   Writing only    bashrc in terminal  this will try to execute that file  but  bashrc file is not meant to be an executable file  If you want to execute the code inside of it  you can source it like follow   source    bashrc   or simple        bashrc

The  bashrc file is in your user home directory     bashrc or  vagrant  bashrc both resolve to the same path   inside the VM s filesystem  This file is invisible on the host machine  so you can t use any Windows editors to edit it directly   You have two simple choices    Learn how to use a console-based text editor  My favourite is vi  or vim   which takes 15 minutes to learn the basics and is much quicker for simple edits than anything else   vi  bashrc  Copy  bashrc out to  vagrant  which is a shared directory  and edit it using your Windows editors  Make sure not to save it back with any extensions   cp  bashrc  vagrant     edit using your host machine     cp  vagrant  bashrc     I d recommend getting to know the command-line based editors  Once you re working inside the VM  it s best to stay there as otherwise you might just get confused   You  the vagrant user  are the owner of your home  bashrc so you do have permissions to edit it   Once edited  you can execute it by typing      source  bashrc I prefer to logout and in again  there may be more than one file executed on login

bashrc is not meant to be executed but sourced  Try this instead        bashrc   Cheers

If you can t access the file and your os is any linux distro or mac os x then either of these commands should work   sudo nano  bashrc  chmod 777  bashrc    it is worthless
