If you are trying to run the Gedit text editor on command line and you get the error message "gedit command not found", then this article will help you solve the issue.
The most common cause of this error is that Gedit is not installed correctly on your system. Gedit is not included with all Linux distributions, so if it's missing, you'll need to install it manually. Depending on your particular distribution, the installation instructions may vary slightly.
Another possible cause is that Gedit might be installed but not in a directory that is included in your path. If that's the case, then you'll need to update your system's environment variables to include the location of where Gedit was installed so that it can be found.
You might also encounter this error if you are using a terminal emulator instead of a "real" shell. In this case, you'll need to enable services like Bash Magics and/or xterm emulation for gedit to work correctly in such environment.
Finally, if none of these tips work for you, then chances are you compiled Gedit from source code and forgot to run ldconfig after installation - this will create an entry for Gedit in the library cache which needs to happen for it to be accessible from anywhere in the system.1
