I have a node running on OSX. I want to run the  
‘grin wallet init’ command but am getting a bash error `-bash: grin: command not found`

I am trying to follow the commands from [https://github.com/mimblewimble/docs/wiki/How-to-run-a-Grin-node](https://github.com/mimblewimble/docs/wiki/How-to-run-a-Grin-node) to add grin to my bash profile but it doesn’t seem to be working

```
    echo export 'PATH=~/grin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

```

source ~/.bashrc
