rpm package installed successfully but does not run

setup: i3wm, fedora 31

I am facing this issue, in which some rpm's even after being installed, For e.g. I have Bluejeans installed, but when I try running the app, it results in command not found, the baffling part being I have no such issue opening it in gnome.

  $  rpm -qa | grep -i bluejeans
bluejeans-v2-2.0.0-188.x86_64


$ bluejeans
zsh: bluejeans: command not found...

same goes when I try accessing using dmenu.

Solution

  • solved the issue, bluejeans was not getting installed in /usr/bin or any other similar paths. 

    rpm -ql bluejeans 
package bluejeans is not installed

    while they also named package as bluejeans-v2 which made it harder to search, while in gnome I could start using bluejeans even from the terminal.

    solution: create a symlink to /usr/bin where you have bluejean-v2 installed

    ls -s /usr/bin/bluejean-v2 ${install_path}/bluejeans-v2
