I am trying to build my validator for Solana. I installed Solana on the main user. I created another user to restrict the access to sudo. I can run the Solana command from my main user but on the limited user it says command not found. does anybody know what is the problem?

The Solana install tool sets everything up in $HOME/.local/share/solana/install/active_release/bin and adds that directory to your $PATH in .profile. This directory is not in your other user's path, so it is inaccessible to the other user.

To solve this, you can:

  • redo the install steps as your other user

Or

  • add your main user's $HOME/.local/share/solana/install/active_release/bin to your other's $PATH, ie:
export PATH="/home/$MAIN_USER_NAME/.local/share/solana/install/active_release/bin:$PATH"

where $MAIN_USER_NAME is the name of the user that has installed the Solana tools.

Also, you can double-check the existing installation by running which solana as the main user.
