   The .zshrc file is located in your home directory at ~/Users/(your username)/.

2. Identify Your Username (Optional)

   To ensure you’re in the correct directory, you can use the whoami command in Terminal to check your username:

3. Add SplashKit to PATH

   Open the .zshrc file with a text editor and add the following line at the end to include the SplashKit path:

   export PATH="$HOME/.splashkit:$PATH"

4. Apply Changes

   Save the .zshrc file and then reload it with the following command to apply changes immediately:

   source ~/.zshrc

After completing these steps, your terminal should recognize the skm command, and you should be able to use SplashKit as expected.
