Bash - installing Ocaml-top

0
votes

I am trying to install Ocaml-Top IDE from command line. I have already installed Ocaml and OPAM using Homebrew (brew install opam, brew install ocaml), but when I enter:

opam install ocaml-top

I get

[ERROR] No OPAM root found at /Users/student/.opam.

Do I need to add this to my PATH?

UPDATE: Suggestion helped, but there is an issue with the package name: I get

[ERROR] No package named ocaml-top found.

You appear to have missed the following caveat, notably opam init, when you ran brew install opam:

$ brew info opam
...
==> Caveats
OPAM uses ~/.opam by default for its package database, so you need to
initialize it first by running (as a normal user):

$  opam init

Run the following to initialize your environment variables:

$  eval `opam config env`

To export the needed variables every time, add them to your dotfiles.
  * On Bash, add them to `~/.bash_profile`.
  * On Zsh, add them to `~/.zprofile` or `~/.zshrc` instead.

Documentation and tutorials are available at https://opam.ocaml.org, or
via "man opam" and "opam --help".
