I installed PHP CLI (7.2) then I installed bake plugin by composer. In my root/bin have 3 files cake, cake.bat and cake.php.  
If I run cake bake terminal echo

```
Command 'cake' not found, did you mean:

  command 'rake' from snap ruby (2.5.3)
  command 'cmake' from deb cmake
  command 'chake' from deb chake
  command 'rake' from deb rake
  command 'fake' from deb fake
  command 'care' from deb care
  command 'jake' from deb node-jake
  command 'make' from deb make
  command 'make' from deb make-guile

See 'snap info <snapname>' for additional versions.
```

If i run php cli in root/bin this is the message

```

`bin/cake` is a shell script, not PHP code. You should typically invoke it as `bin/cake bake` from the Cake root folder.

Add a `./`  
So your command screen should look like:

```bash
/var/www/html/foods_chile/bin$ ./cake bake

```

Thank You for your help but it is the result (maybe I am still wrong)  
emilio@emilio-System-Product-Name:/var/www/html/foods\_chile$ bin$ ./cake bake

Command ‘bin$’ not found, did you mean:

command ‘bino’ from deb bino  
command ‘bing’ from deb bing

Try: sudo apt install

I forgot to say I am using Ubuntu 18.04 and cakephp rel 3.8, php 7.2.19
