Not sure I understand the question. The command you ran won't have installed it, you curl the installer and don't do anything with it, the contents is just output to the screen. If you run the full command from the README which redirects the content to bash, the installer script should attempt to place modman in a bin directory in your home directory, i.e. in ~/bin.

[farmaworld]

why the installation did not work? what is the problem?

[pocallaghan]

As I said. You didn't run the whole command. What you posted shows you started with curl, the README shows it starting with bash.

[farmaworld]

ok thanks i have installed
Done. Modman installed in /Users/raffaele/bin/modman
but for use whith my magento is good that dir?

[pocallaghan]

It doesn't really matter where it's located, it goes in that directory by default as it's a reasonable default location. So long as running which modman shows that path, you should be fine. The install script attempts to ensure ~/bin is in your PATH so you should be fine.

./modman clone ApiImport https://github.com/danslo/ApiImport.git
Module Manager directory not found.
Run "modman init" in the root of the project with which you would like to use Module Manager.

If you wish to use modman to install a module, you need to be in you need to be in your Magento root directory, not the the bin directory. To start using modman you first have to call init which will create the .modman directory for you where the checked out modules will go. There is only one argument to clone, which is the path to the git repo you wish to clone.

cd ~/My/Site/Directory
modman init
modman clone https://github.com/danslo/ApiImport.git

I suggest you read through the wiki.

in my magento directory, as you say, I always command not found

[pocallaghan]

Then ~/bin is not in your PATH variable. The PATH variable is a semicolon seperate list of directories in which the OS will look for commands. Things to try:

Run echo $PATH and check to see if it includes /Users/raffaele/bin.
Run cat ~/.profile and see if it it contains something along the lines of PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH. If it does run source ~/.profile (as per the README) and try using modman again.

If you can't work out what you're doing with the PATH stuff, you can just use the full path to the modman file ~/bin/modman init etc. or copy the modman file into your directory.

cp ~/bin/modman /your/project/dir/
modman init

NB: None of this is directly related to modman, this is core terminal functionality.

[colinmollenhour]

Maybe the installer should first attempt to install to a location like /usr/local/bin to avoid having to modify the PATH?

[dougmays]

I'd like to piggy back off this thread because it helped me move the modman folder from my /bin to my project folder using your supplied command (i dont have alot of terminal knowledge)
cp ~/bin/modman /your/project/dir/
modman init

But...it moved the folder correctly so i have the modman folder in my project, but modman init is giving me the error "Dougs-Mac-mini:magento DougCharterContact$ modman init
-bash: modman: command not found"

Any idea why it wont initialize? Thanks...Doug

[colinmollenhour]

You actually don't want the modman script in your project folder, or at least I can't think of any good reason why.. Do this:

$ echo $PATH

And then place the modman script into one of those directories that are included in your $PATH and make sure it has the executable mode set (e.g. chmod 755 /path/to/modman).

[dougmays]

yikes now i think i'm all messed up because when i rerun the bash command from your install read me it doesnt download modman to Bin like it did before i ran the 'cp' to move it

[dougmays]

update....modman is in the ~/bin directory. I ran chmod 755 on that 'modman' folder. went to my projects folder and ran modman init...and received the 'command not found' message. Any ideas? :/

[colinmollenhour]

I was referring to modman the file, not the modman git repo directory. So ~/bin/modman should be a file.

[dougmays]

Yep the modman file is in the ~/bin directory. And i ran chmod on it. but running modman init in my Project folder is giving me the "command not found" message.

[colinmollenhour]

Sounds like your shell still isn't finding modman in your PATH. See: http://www.linfo.org/path_env_var.html

[virender-savadi]

modman initiated successfully but i'm getting following error
line 1180: git: command not found

[colinmollenhour]

You need to have git in your path.
