+
+**Problem:**
+
+When running `make init`:
+
+```
+/bin/sh: line 0: cd: grafana-plugin: No such file or directory
+make: *** [init] Error 1
+```
+
+This arises when the environment variable `[CDPATH](https://www.theunixschool.com/2012/04/what-is-cdpath.html)` is set _and_ when the current path (`.`) is not explicitly part of `CDPATH`.
+
+**Solution:**
+
+Either make `.` part of `CDPATH` in your .rc file setup, or temporarily override the variable when running `make` commands:
+
+```
+$ CDPATH="." make init
+# Setting CDPATH to empty seems to also work - only tested on zsh, YMMV
+$ CDPATH="" make init
+```
