dotnet ef not found - Shell-Bash

Are you facing the issue of dotnet ef not found while working with Entity Framework Core in your .NET application? This can happen if the Entity Framework Core tools are not installed or not added to the PATH of your system.

To fix this issue, follow the below steps:

1. Install the Entity Framework Core tools by running the following command in your shell:

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-ef

2. After installing the tools, add the following line to your PATH environment variable:

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet/tools"

3. Verify the installation by running the following command:
