The PATH is wrong. Tilde should not appear literally in $PATH, nor
literal '$HOME'.
Make sure PATH does not contain a literal tilde, but rather,
is expansion, the value of $HOME.
Shell won't find executable in such PATH, too.
Try using $HOME when seting PATH, and make sure it is expanded.

Try this in bash:
bash
export PATH=$PATH:~/bin
echo $PATH
Notice tilde is automatically substituted.

It tilde appears in PATH, your PATH is wrong.
