dotnet on mac: "-bash: dotnet: command not found"

Steps to reproduce

I have Sierra version of OSX on which I tried following the installation instructions a few times. This is what I get:

 ▷  brew install openssl
Warning: openssl-1.0.2j already installed

 ▷  ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/
ln: /usr/local/lib//libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib: File exists

 ▷  ln -s /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib /usr/local/lib/
ln: /usr/local/lib//libssl.1.0.0.dylib: File exists

When I use the installer (dotnet-dev-osx-x64.1.0.0-preview2-003131.pkg), it works fine

The path /usr/local/share/dotnet does exist

Expected behavior

When I run “dotnet” command, I expect it to work

Actual behavior

Command dotnet does not work. The terminal says -bash: dotnet: command not found

Environment data

None

This happens because the installation package does not add the dotnet executable location to the PATH environment variable. This issue is mentioned in https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/cli/known-issues.md#users-of-zsh-z-shell-dont-get-dotnet-on-the-path-after-install, but apparently it does not affect only zsh users. You need to add this path manually.

In my case the path was /usr/local/share/dotnet, so I ran (from the command line):

export PATH=/usr/local/share/dotnet:$PATH

Thank you. Running ln -s /usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet /usr/local/bin from the page in the link you mentioned worked for me.
