Hi, I just installed "putty" from homebrew. When I type "brew list" it shows putty in the list of installed programs. But when enter "putty" in the command line, I'm getting "-bash: putty: command not found". Any ideas?

You should either use the full path
Code:
/usr/local/bin/putty
or add /usr/local/bin to your shell's path (By modifying the shell's rc file).

You should reinstall putty with '--with-gtk+' option.
Code:
brew uninstall putty
brew install putty --with-gtk+
It needs Xqwarts.

Cool! I use Putty on my XP machine, didn't even know it could be used on a Mac.

Now I gotta figure out what Putty can do that you can't do in Terminal...

I installed putty using same command on my mac (10.11.4).
It is showing me putty in brew installed list (brew list). But when I try to run the putty by typing putty in my terminal, it does not work (-bash: putty: command not found).
Please help.
