osx - ngrok command not found -

for many of question might sound stupid don't command line , i'm new mac.

i'm trying install ngrok (which i've been using while on windows no issues) on 1 week old yosemite , these steps i've followed far.

1. downloaded ngrok here https://ngrok.com/download.

2. unziped file , copied unix executable file application.

now understand need open terminal, move inside application folder , write ngrok http 80. result of "command not found".

i've sign @ ngork website , run terminal command ./ngrok authtoken "blablabla" , result "no such file or directory"

can tell me how proceed able activate tunnel ngrok?

thank much

short answer: put executable file in /usr/local/bin instead of applications. should able run commands ngrok http 80.

long answer: when type commands ngrok in terminal, macs (and other unix oss) these programs in folders specified in path. path list of folders that's specified each user. check path, open terminal , type: echo $path.

you'll see output looks like: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin. : separated list of folders.

so when type ngrok in terminal, mac executable in following folders: /usr/local/bin, /usr/bin/ , /bin.

read this post if interested in learning why should prefer usr/local/bin on other folders.
