After switching to zsh from bash, I can't use the tlmgr command anymore (zsh: command not found: tlmgr).

My tex lives in

kpsewhich latex.ltx 
/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/base/latex.ltx

My tlmgr is in /opt/local/share/tlpkg/TeXLive

I tried to set PATH to either of the two, but can't manage to change it so that I can use the tlmgr command. Please help. Thanks! T

    You need a path to a bin directory that contains for example pdftex, see e.g. http://tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html – Andrew Swann Sep 04 '20 at 11:58
  • How did you install TeX Live? – egreg Sep 04 '20 at 12:03
  • neither of those look like a bin directory, you say you can not find tlmgr but that is usually same place as latex, can you use latex? what does which latex report? – David Carlisle Sep 04 '20 at 12:58
  • What OS version are you using? In recent versions of the OS you can’t install in /. Previous questions need to be answered too. – Herb Schulz Sep 04 '20 at 14:26
  • Thanks all - I figured out the problem was that I installed with Macports and there was no tlmgr included - see https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/244465/where-is-tlmgr-in-macports-texlive-installation?noredirect=1&lq=1 – Clueless Sep 04 '20 at 20:11

I figured out the problem was that I installed TeX via mac ports and there was no tlmgr included. So I needed to do Adding a CTAN package to a MacPorts-maintained TeX installation

    Avoid MacPorts. If you still want to use it, by no means install TeX Live through it. Use the official MacTeX distribution. – egreg Sep 04 '20 at 22:00
  • I must say thanks! You saved me a lot of time. I de-installed the texlive-basic port I had and went with MacTeX :) – Clueless Sep 05 '20 at 03:54
