Linux commands not working
This is an incredibly basic question but I'm not super familiar with Linux; I only run it via my Steam Deck. So I went through the steps to install NextDNS via command-line client, it installed successfully, but then when I enter the commands it says to use, it says the commands are invalid.
I know I'm probably missing something super simple but Linux just makes no sense to me half the time. Can someone explain what I'm doing wrong?
Here's the relevant portion:
Congratulations! NextDNS is now installed.
To upgrade/uninstall, run this command again and select the appropriate option.
You can use the NextDNS command to control the daemon.
Here are a few important commands to know:
# Start, stop, restart the daemon:
nextdns start
nextdns stop
nextdns restart
# Configure the local host to point to NextDNS or not:
nextdns activate
nextdns deactivate
# Explore daemon logs:
nextdns log
# For more commands, use:
nextdns help
(deck@steamdeck ~)$ nextdns start
bash: nextdns: command not found
(127)(deck@steamdeck ~)$ nextdns activate
bash: nextdns: command not found
(127)(deck@steamdeck ~)$ nextdns log
bash: nextdns: command not found
(127)(deck@steamdeck ~)$ nextdns help
bash: nextdns: command not found1 reply

If it has been installed correctly, it should be located at /usr/bin/nextdns
You could try the command with the full path instead, if it still won't see it.
I've not heard of anyone installing the CLI on SteamOS so I don't know of any possible problems but since it's apparently based on Arch, I'm guessing from looking at what happens with arch installation.
