Is there a way to access to the command from any user

Hi, I installed odbc2parquet as root and it works ok, but I'm not able to run it from other users. Is there a way to do it?

Thank you, Markus!

Yeah, there are lots of ways. As long as the executable is in a path accessible by the user and in the PATH environment variable it will work.

Are you running on Linux or OS-X? These ideas should work on both platforms:

• If the Rust toolchain is installed for the user you want it to execute as you can just run cargo install odbc2parquet for that user.
• Just copy the executable to ${HOME}/bin, there ${HOME} is the home directory of the user. You may need to change file permissions with chmod.
• copy the executable to /usr/local/bin

All of this is not specific to this tool. If you have someone familiar with the platform you are working on he / she should be able to help you without problems. cargo install command installs into ${HOME}/.cargo/bin by default, if you are looking for the current place of the tool. So on linux you would find the odbc2parquet executable in /root/.cargo/bin/odbc2parquet.

Cheers, Markus

@gustavo-avalos-villasenor Has the answer been helpful enough, to enable you to install it for all users, or are you still stuck?
