Every command resulted in the following error:</p> <pre tabindex="0"><code>execvp(3) failed.: Permission denied </code></pre><p>In some cases Gemini tried alternative solutions, like using some internal features instead of system commands. However, every time it consumed some seconds and tokens to retry. In the second, it didn&rsquo;t ALWAYS worked.</p> <h2 id="the-solution">The solution</h2> <p>While looking for solution, I found <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GeminiCLI/comments/1sdlye0/execvp3_failed_permission_denied/">this Reddit thread</a> where author described the same issue. It was pointed out that the <code>bash</code> folder was the cause of this trouble.</p>
