Can't run ghci in Terminal

every time I type ghci into the terminal or a command I would execute through ghci it tells me zsh: command not found: ghci. I'm super new to this and don't really know what to do? Commands like cd and so on that are for the items on my Mac work just fine.

Here's the GUI version of it.

Open Ghcup GUI with the command

ghcup tui

You would notice something like this

GCHUP GUI:

GCHUP GUI

For me when the ghc or ghci command was not working, there was a single tick beside GHC option. Go to that option and press s to set. It worked for me.

You could try wirte . ~/.ghcup/env in the ~/.zshrc file. Another thing is restarting the terminal.

It sounds like bash was your shell when you installed GHC, but Apple later switched you to zsh. The problem is that it was only added to your path for bash. Look for a line in ~./bashrc or ~/.bash_profile that looks something like this:

[ -f "${GHCUP_INSTALL_BASE_PREFIX:=$HOME}/.ghcup/env" ] && source "${GHCUP_INSTALL_BASE_PREFIX:=$HOME}/.ghcup/env"

It might not look quite like that, but the important part is the reference to .ghcup/env. Once you find that line, copy it and add it to the end of ~/.zshrc. Then restart your shell and try again.
