Making Terminal recognize HandBrakeCLI commands I just downloaded HandBrake on my Mac to edit videos (and compress them).

The GUI works fine, however, when I type the command HandBrakeCLI in Terminal, it does NOT find the command.

The specific issue I am trying to resolve is that I want Terminal to know where to find the HandBrakeCLI commands and related tools.

How do I do that once I have a working GUI?

How do you "activate" the HandBrakeCLI command on MAC?

This is what I am typing into my terminal:

username~ $ HandBrakeCLI -h
-bash: HandBrakeCLI: command not found


I got the idea to type that command from:

https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/CLIGuide
Have you downloaded the command line version?

From HandBrake's CLIGuide:


  tell the shell to look for the program in the current working
  directory. To run a command in the Terminal, you just type its name.
  But the shell will only look in the places where applications are
  usually stored (like /usr/bin/). You need to tell it to look in the
  current directory. To do that, precede the program name with ./ like
  this:
  
  ./HandBrakeCLI
  
  Of course, running that won't do much anything useful. If you run
  HandBrake without telling it what to do, it will just tell you to read
  the help...
