What is the path to the new cli command?

Can someone please tell me what the path to the obsidian cli is? which obisidian from a command prompt should do it.

I’ve installed Obsidian 1.12.1 (Installer 1.11.7) and the “Command Line Interface” toggle indicates that the command is added to my path, but in Terminal, which obsidian returns nothing and obsidian returns bash: command not found: obsidian. I’m using macOS 26.2 and the homebrew bash shell.

Things I have tried

I also tried find /Applications/Obsidian.app -name "obsidian" -type f

On Mac, it should be:

/Applications/Obsidian.app/Contents/MacOS

This could help you out a little :blush: : Obsidian CLI > Troubleshooting > macOS

That’s it, thank you! The executable is named Obsidian with a capital O, which I thought was just the GUI app. But macOS is case-insensitive so obsidian will work as a command name from the command line.

Bash users like me will just have to add

export PATH="$PATH:/Applications/Obsidian.app/Contents/MacOS"

to their .bash_profile manually.
