Rertopie Bash, Retroarch command not found
-
When I try to run retroarch from the bash command line I get the "command not found" error. Even when just typing the command on its own without options.
pi@retropie:~ $ retroarch -bash: retroarch: command not found pi@retropie:~ $
I'm running a Raspberry Pi 3 with a fresh install of RetroPie 4.2. The game I wish to run works fine from the ES menu using lr-mame2003. What am I missing here?
I'm trying to follow these Wiki instructions. I must be missing something simple here, anyone who can point it out?
Thanks

File: retroarch - not sure of path as bash cannot find it
Emulator: lr-mame2003, though not event getting as far as a full command line yet.
How to replicate the problem: Quit ES and type "retroarch" at the command line -
Found the solution.
Instead to just entering
retroarch
at the command prompt I needed to enter the full path of the binary or/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch
in this case.If you are already in the
/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/
directory you need to type./retroarch
to run the command.
