Answer 1

First, make sure the script is executable:

cd cake/console
chmod +x cake

Second, make sure that you have the php5-cli installed. The process for this varies by system. Googling "php5-cli" + your distribution name should get you the information.

Third, you don't need to add cake to your path as long as you don't mind navigating to the folder or typing in the full path.

cd cake/console/
./cake bake

Answer 2

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/your/cakeSiteDir/lib/Cake/Console
cd /path/to/your/cakeSiteDir
cake bake

Worked finally for me and did not close my console with cakephp 2.x
