As others have said, make sure it's actually in your path
echo $PATH
If it's not, move it to one of the directories, or run it explicitly from where it is. I just downloaded it. It saved to my ~/Downloads folder. I had to chmod +x egctl-linux-x86_64, then run it from a terminal with ~/Downloads/egctl-linux-x86_64 and it worked. Although I don't have that mouse so "working" for me is Error: device not found (VID:0x3367 PID:0x1978). is the mouse plugged in?
yo ty so much! I never knew about path, thats really good to learn about tyty I got it working now :)
Glad to hear you got it working.
FWIW, Windows
assuming that that's where you're coming from
has a PATH environment variable too. It's just less common to invoke things directly by executable name on Windows in 2026, or to modify it, so it doesn't come up much. If you type echo %PATH% in cmd.com on Windows, you'll see something similar.

It's too late here to explain it, I should sleep, but what you have to do is this, search for these things if you dont understand sthg:
It should work
yo ty! I didn't know about adding it to path, thats what I was missing tyty
Where did you install it?
~~Since you are on an Arch based distro you should be able to install egctl from the aur: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/egctl-bin
I'm not that familiar with Endevour OS, but maybe you can do something like yay -Syu egctl-bin~~
The tool should be installed somewhere your path envkronment variable points to and then you'll be able to execute it from your shell (terminal)
Edit: I linked the wrong tool, sorry. Thanks for pointing it out.
Thats a different program on aur, not what op wants
