How do people help MacOS GUI applications find user-installed executables on the
system?

@apple_enthusiast

I have been helping a friend with a very modern Macintosh follow
@bounga’s tip
(https://www.bounga.org/tips/2020/04/07/instructs-mac-os-gui-apps-about-path-environment-variable/),
but it does not seem to work anymore. Which is weird, since it was updated in
July 2023.

DESCRIPTION: A space for anyone who uses Apple products, appreciates what they get right, and wants to talk plainly about what they don’t. This is a friendly place for healthy criticism. You don’t have to love the company. You don’t have to hate it either. If you want honest discussion about Apple hardware, software, ecosystem choices, design decisions, frustrations, or pleasant surprises, you’re welcome here.

RULES: This is a place for:

Thoughtful critique, real-world experience, and respectful disagreement
Sharing tips, solutions, workarounds, and overlooked features
Questioning decisions without turning everything into a complaint thread
Welcoming users at any level of experience or enthusiasm

This is not a place for:

Trolling, pile-ons, or knee-jerk negativity
Brand loyalty debates
Personal attacks, sarcasm aimed at other users, or rhetorical grandstanding
Gatekeeping based on technical skill, platform history, or product ownership
Derogatory references to cults or fanboyism. I don’t actually believe those things really exist anymore. If you wanna talk about them in a historical context, that’s totally fine.

You use Apple. You think about it. (Maybe you think different). That’s all it takes to participate here.
