IPFS Command Line Not Function Properly

Help
1

After a data migration (from my SSD to HDD) gone south, my IPFS command line not working anymore. “‘ipfs’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.”

Any help to restore it is much appreciated!

Most likely the ipfs binary is no longer on PATH defined on your system (list of directories used for binary lookup).

  • On Linux/macOS just add new location to your PATH.
  • On Windows, there are some powershell steps at Command-line | IPFS Docs

On Windows, you need to either execute these commands using Powershell, or update PATH manually by some other means (example).

Thank you so much! New path is added!
