Apple - Installed openvpn with brew but it doesn't appear to be installed correctly

Add this to your ~/.bash_profile:

export PATH=$(brew --prefix openvpn)/sbin:$PATH

At the terminal type:

echo $PATH 

That's your default search path for executables. Looks like the openvpn executable was installed someplace not in your search path.

First, you'll need to find the openvpn executable:

sudo find / -type f -name "openvpn" 

Then add the directory containing the openvpn executable to your default search path by adding this sort of line to the end of your .profile (in your home directory, a.k.a. /Users/yourusername/.profile:

export PATH="/some/brew/dir:$PATH"

You have to add /usr/local/sbin to your path.

It was installed to /usr/local/sbin but that directory is not in your $PATH by default. Add a line like this to your ~/.bashrc or equivalent:

export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:$PATH
