Re: Running Node (or any unix cmd line program) from Shell from a LC Stack

It's sadly a big "not". I've never seen anything else than /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin in LC's $PATH at startup. But the $PATH of *any* shell on 10.11.x (SIP enabled) contains /usr/local/bin [because SIP doesn't allow to install in /usr/bin]. Everybody could use Warren's comparison from above
