Whenever I open a terminal, I see the line “bash: /home/usr/tools/tool: Is a directory”

I was installing a toolkit for data analysis of experimental data and while installing I was prompted to be the root user. Since completing the basic installation of the toolkit, whenever I reopen a new terminal I always get the line
bash: /home/usr/tools/tool: Is a directory
before I have run any commands. It is annoying to see the line every time I open the terminal.
Why is this happening and how can I get rid of it?

Your shell startup files may have been modified with an invalid command during the package installation. Since you ran the installation as root, I would suggest checking under/etc/profile/,/etc/profile.dand/etc/bashrc.

@Haxiel On Ubuntu there is no/etc/bashrcand/etc/profile(like~/.profile) is only sourced once on login unless the shell is explicitly started as a login shell. I strongly suspect the offending line is in~/.bashrc- Rupjyoti Das, please look there for any lines not in/etc/skel/.bashrc(the system backup default bashrc) and not added by you. You can show the file here if you don't understand the content. (It may also be in/etc/bash.bashrcbut I've never seen a case of it). Also, if you link to the instructions you used it will likely be much easier to see what happened...

Thanks, @Zanna and others too. Zanna, you are right, the problem was in the~/.bashrcfile. I changed the line which I added wrongly during the installation of the toolkit using nano. It has been dealt with by editing that last line. Now the prompt in the terminal is gone.
