Aspera: Command 'ascp' not found

Question

[Keenan]

I am trying to download files from the idr website using aspera. I am running the following command however I get the error Command 'ascp' not found. The ssh key exists and the file path is correct.

ascp -TQ -l40m -P 33001 -i "path/to/key/asperaweb_id_dsa.openssh" [e-mail]:. /tmp/data/idr0013/

When I run ascli config ascp show I get path/.aspera/ascli/sdk/ascp so I believe the command is installed.

It is simply not in PATH. Put the folder with the binary into PATH or use the full path to the ascp binary for the command.
