[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Next Generation ROS] Cannot run executable and lib using ros2 run after building using ament

[William Woodall]

Your CMake installs you binary to bin, but ros2 run only looks in the "libexec" folder (actually `lib/pkg`) for executables. Your binary is just on the PATH, so you don't need ros2 run to easily execute it. 

See our examples for how to install to libexec:
