Bash: vcgencmd: command not found

Help and Support Raspberry Pi

Hello again,

After some testing and installed my Raspi 2 works well.
I have read that it is possible to display the temperature via ssh.

But that does not work for me

root@osmc:/home/osmc# vcgencmd measure_temp
bash: vcgencmd: command not found
root@osmc:/home/osmc#

What´s wrong and how can i fixed it?

That’s quite strange. What is the output of this two commands.
which vcgencmd
ls -lah /opt/vc/bin/

root@passi-osmc:/home/osmc# which vcgencmd
root@passi-osmc:/home/osmc# ls -lah /opt/vc/bin/

You seem to be logged in as root
I suspect vcgencmd will work just fine as the OSMC user

As @sam_nazarko wrote run vcgencmd as user osmc than it will be found by the path.
If you insist to run it as root (not necessary) use full path /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd
