Can't find after software installations

After I install a software (jenv and homebrew), I can run them. The installation processes seem to be fine without any error messages. The commands, "which jenv" and "which homebrew", don't return anything. I dig deep a little and find they are not in the directory /usr/bin With my Linux back ground, I can't figure what is missing for the normal installation processes.

Can't install software I want to get homebrew for my Macbook air with macos catalina 10.15.2. But when I managed to run the installation code the install command line developer tools pops out and says: Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the software update server. I read that I might have to install a new command line package thing but I can't seem to find a fitting version for my 10.15.2 system. What do I do?

"-bash: brew: command not found" for all "brew" commands after installing Homebrew I had a similar issue with my PATH in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253548744, which I thought was fixed but I have since installed Homebrew and having a similar problem. All commands such as brew help return: -bash: brew: command not found I am not sure of the correct PATH for brew or what to change

Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local.

$ cd /usr/local
$ find Cellar
Cellar/wget/1.16.1
Cellar/wget/1.16.1/bin/wget
Cellar/wget/1.16.1/share/man/man1/wget.1

$ ls -l bin
bin/wget -> ../Cellar/wget/1.16.1/bin/wget

Homebrew won’t install files outside its prefix and you can place a Homebrew installation wherever you like.

For Thought:

I'm not so certain of the links, but ask this in each Linux OS's user forums, and you might just get the answer you need.

Thanks for your input.

My installation directory doesn't have wget under Cellar.

I use the following command to install homebrew

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Something isn't right with the above command, I guess.

What OS version are you on?
