p4 command not found

I'm trying to use p4 commands in my batch files on Mac like p4 login etc. I keep getting the error "-bash p4: command not found".

I couldn't find anything else useful when searching. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue and resolved it?

To add to the existing answers, on my macOS Mojave, downloading Perforce 2019.1/1796703 for OSX 10.10+ using Safari gives me a p4.dms file.

You must rename it to p4 first before using it. Any attempt to unarchive the .dms file will fail. It is not a valid DMS archive.

How-To steps:

(1) Download p4 file for macOS from:

(2) Copy the item to any local folder under any custom folder. For ex: '/Users//perforce'

(3) Run the following commands in terminal.

chmod +x /Users/<yourname>/perforce/p4
export PATH=/Users/<yourname>/perforce:$PATH

(4) Now run 'p4' in terminal.

This should not fail!

Just drop the "p4" executable in /usr/local/bin or even /usr/bin if you prefer. ;-)
