Following the install directions on github, I now have the following executables in my directory:

gmt gmt-config gmt\_shell\_functions.sh gmtswitch

I’m trying to run FigureGen, which calls for executables like:  
gmtset, gmtpath, gmtget, gmtlist, ect.

Where can I find these?

`gmtset` and `gmtget` are executables provided by old GMT4. Since GMT5, you should use `gmt set` and `gmt get` instead. As for gmtpath and gmtlist, they are not GMT commands.

gmtpath and gmtlist etc are old GMT3 commands that survived into GMT4 but was dropped in GMT5. It you need these ancient tools you might as well install the terminal release of GMT 4.5.18.
