How do people help MacOS GUI applications find user-installed executables on the
system?

@apple_enthusiast

I have been helping a friend with a very modern Macintosh follow
@bounga's tip
(https://www.bounga.org/tips/2020/04/07/instructs-mac-os-gui-apps-about-path-environment-variable/),
but it does not seem to work anymore. Which is weird, since it was updated in
July 2023.

So you did this?

> For recent MacOS systems, the solution got easier.
You only have to edit /etc/paths and add the needed paths in it.
Restart your finder and that's it!

It doesn’t work? I don’t need it anymore, it was only to populate paths in emacs when launched from the icon. Now I do it another way.
