linux - How can I change the binary file link to something else -
i have 2 questions , linked. execute command this:
python on shell , opens shell.
now want
to file linked. mean when run
pythonpath of file opens/usr/bin/pythonor what?the other questions want change link other location when run
pythonopens/usr/bal/bla/python2.7.
the command run when type python determined setting of $path. first executable file called python found in directory listed on $path 1 executed. there no 'link' per se. which command tell shell executes when type python.
if want python open different program, there number of ways it. if have $home/bin on $path ahead of /usr/bin, can create symlink:
ln -s /usr/bal/bla/python2.7 $home/bin/python this executed instead of /usr/bin/python. alternatively, can create alias:
alias python=/usr/bal/bla/python2.7 alternatively again, if /usr/bal/bla contains other useful programs, add /usr/bal/bla $path ahead of /usr/bin.
there other mechanisms too, 1 of these 1 use. i'd use symlink in $home/bin.
