Fastlane Command Not Found

Add the following line to your bash profile:

export PATH="$HOME/.fastlane/bin:$PATH"

You can either close the terminal session and restart it or run source ~/.bash_profile to load your configuration and then you can go so you start using fastlane.

I got run into similar issue last week. I installed fastlane using homebrew on mac, but it was showing the same error.

I tried installing it using Ruby and it worked like a charm. Here is the command.

sudo gem install fastlane -NV

Also seems like you have not installed command line tools for xcode.

Install them using xcode-select --install

I met this issue because of installing zsh, the below two steps solve my problem:

1. open ~/.zshrc

2. save path

   2.1 if you install fastlane with Homebrew

   Copy export PATH="$HOME/.fastlane/bin:$PATH" on the bottom line.

   2.2 if you install fastlane with RubyGems

   Copy export PATH="/usr/local/bin/fastlane"" on the bottom line.

3. save upon file and try fastlane init, everything is OK!

1. In the terminal type cd ~/ to go to your home folder
2. Type touch .bash_profile to create your new empty file
3. Type open -e .bash_profile to open the file
4. Enter export PATH="$HOME/.fastlane/bin:$PATH" and save
5. Restart terminal (not sure needed?)

Here is what I installed on Mac - from scratch

Removed from brew install

brew uninstall fastlane

brew install rbenv

Install Ruby version 2.6.6

rbenv install 2.6.6

Set the Ruby version in global

rbenv global 2.6.6

Add Ruby to the PATH

if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi

Install bundler

gem install bundler

Install fastlane

bundle add fastlane

fastlane is in cask now. You can install it using

brew cask install fastlane

Now you need to export PATH so that your shell can find fastlane do

export PATH="$HOME/.fastlane/bin:$PATH"

If that doesn't work, try this

export PATH="$HOME/.fastlane/bin/fastlane_lib:$PATH"

Make sure you add it to ~/.profile, ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc for future

brew install ruby

brew install fastlane

Warning: fastlane 2.145.0 is already installed, it's just not linked You can use brew link fastlane to link this version.

brew link fastlane

cd iOS

fastlane init

If you are working on local machine then add following to you .bash_profile

export PATH="$HOME/.fastlane/bin:$PATH"

If you are working on Jenkins then this worked for me 😎

Under Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Global properties -> Environment variables I added:

Name: Path Value: /bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

Reference

I have got the same issue on mac 10.11, after a lot of struggling I found that the problem in installing unf_ext 0.0.7.2 gem I have done the following from this answer

brew install coreutils

After that try reinstall fastlane again it should work again

DO NOT INSTALL FASTLANE GLOBALLY It is recommended that you use a Gemfile to define your dependency on Fastlane. This will clearly define the used Fastlane version, and its dependencies, and will also speed up using Fastlane.

Step 1: Install bundler using

sudo gem install bundler

so any time you wan run Fastlane
bundler exec fastlane ...

I faced this issue in Fedora 30 i followed these steps:-

1-installed all dev tools using these commands

sudo dnf install @development-tools
sudo dnf install @rpm-development-tools

2- run sudo gem install fastlane -NV

Fastlane worked like a charm hope it helped

I managed to install following way

Install ruby

sudo apt install ruby ruby-dev

Add following to top of your "~/.profile" file

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Check of any errors with source ~/.profile command. If there is not output means all is good.

Install Build essentials

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential

Fastlane depends on Google API Clint lets install that first

sudo gem install google-api-client

Install Fastlane

sudo gem install fastlane -NV

Check your installation

fastlane -v

Flutter and Github Actions for Android:

If you are setting up Github Actions for a Flutter project for android and run into this error in one of your steps, see the work flow below:

jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      LC_ALL: en_US.UTF-8
      LANG: en_US.UTF-8
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Set up ruby
        uses: ruby/setup-ruby@v1

      - name: Setup Fastlane
        working-directory: ./android  # <-- Make sure you have this
        run: bundle install

      - name: Run Fastlane
        working-directory: ./android. # <-- Make sure you have this
        run: bundle exec fastlane android [lane name].

Make sure to setup the ruby/setup-ruby@v1 action correctly depending on your project. see the doc:

In my case I have not specified the ruby version because I am using the .ruby-version file in my project.

You can add fastlane path environment by add line

export PATH="$HOME/.fastlane/bin:$PATH"

to ~/.bash_profile or ~/.zsh_profile file (if you use zsh shell).

And final start new terminal session or reload using command source ~/.bash_profile or source ~/.zsh_profile (if you use zsh shell)

First,You need to check if you have the ~/.fastlane file. If you don't have the file, you can execute brew cask install fastlane command. If you already have it. Check other answers.

Im my case, I need to add this path to my env, then command is found.

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/fastlane-2.214.0/bin:$PATH"

Try reinstall fastlane, it didn't create .fastlane in my $HOME dir.
