where is fpp?

[oceanwanderlust]

I want to control FPP from the command line, however:

fpp@FPP4 ~ $ fpp
-bash: fpp: command not found
fpp@FPP4 ~ $ find -name fpp

What am I missing? Where is fpp?

We need to add it to the fpp user's path.  Maybe I will push an upgrade script to do that.

For now, on a Pi it is /opt/fpp/bin.pi/fpp. And on. BBB it is /opt/fpp/bin.bbb/fpp

This may change in the future, that is why we want to put it in the path.   We are discussing the pros and cons of precompiled binaries as we plan support for other platforms.

THANKYOU! again.

sorry for the stupid question. In retrospect, "sudo find" would have found it, but I would have though I had enough permission.

fpp user does have permission, you would have had to tell find to start at / though.
