Getting an exe to work in PATH

I got jq to work on my local computer by adding the exe i downloaded to a specific folder. Pictured below. This is a user variable location.

I placed the exe in the C:\Users\Justin.dnx\bin location.

I now did pretty much the same thing on an AzureVM and git bash is not recognizing jq. I plecaed the jq.exe below.

enter image description here

I placed the exe in the C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\bin\

Any idea what could be wrong?

Solution

  • I ended up installing chocolaty and installing jq through that and it worked.
