Why does Windows say "line is not recognized" after installing?

Usually the terminal was opened before the installer updated your PATH. Open a new PowerShell or Terminal window and try line --version again.

If it still isn't found#

1. Check the file exists: Test-Path $HOME\.line\bin\line.exe should print True.
2. Check your user PATH contains it:

   [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User')
   

   Look for ...\.line\bin.
3. If it's missing, add it:

   $d = Join-Path $HOME '.line\bin'
   [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', "$d;" + [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path','User'), 'User')
   

   Then open a new window.
4. Run it directly as a test: & "$HOME\.line\bin\line.exe" --version.

Other causes#

• You installed with LINE_INSTALL_DIR set to another folder: use that folder instead.
• An editor's built-in terminal (for example in an IDE) may need the whole app restarted to pick up the new PATH.
