PATH Location

Odd_Bloke · 08-26-2003, 08:04 PM

This is a really simple question, but where do I find my PATH?

Cheers,
Dan

su to root user in a shell

echo $PATH

On a related issue, how do I edit what my PATH points to? (I'm trying to install something that demands a JRE in the PATH)

Cheers,
Dan

Look in the files .bash_profile and .bashrc in your home directory to find out which one contains your current path. Then add to the end a colon followed by the path to the JRE

If you want to add to the PATH environment variable, take a look at these threads.
