Thank you SO much for this! Still getting used to zsh instead of bash over here.

In reply to Ronald. Thanks, Ronald. It's been a while since I installed it last and I thought it was automatically generated. If the file is not there, executing a touch ~/.zshenv will create the file for you, Blake.

In reply to Antonio Cangiano. Unless you create the file, it is unlikely that a correct zsh installation will create by itself in its home directory. If we need certain zsh startup files, we create them.

In reply to bkclerke. Hi Blake, the .zshenv file should be located within your home folder. From your terminal, do a ls -la ~ to see the file if it exists. ~~If it's not there then it's possible Zsh is not installed correctly on your system.~~

Do you know where to find the .zshenv file to add the export PATH line? I can’t seem to find it. I’m running into the same issue trying to install a ruby gem on Catalina. I’m using ZSH as well. Thank you!

I don’t see what’s the point in adding .rbenv/bin to the PATH. This directory is not created during the installation of rbenv via homebrew, and if I really need it one day, I should at least created it before adding it to the PATH.

Thank you so much, Antonio! I literally spent 24 hours trying to find what’s the problem installing Rails. None of the solutions helped. Your approach is clear, elegant, and worked for me! Greatly appreciate it.
