Hi,

You can put your path-command (that you usually set manually) in your shell config. file. If you're using bash you should have (or create) a .bashrc in your home directory. Other shells have similar files, Zsh has a .zshrc etc. It will be run when you start a terminal. If you don't want to restart your shell after editing the config file just type <code>source .bashrc</code>.
