cannot find .cshrc , please help
 

I need to modify the .cshrc (the shell start-up file) but I do not know where to look for it and how to open it to modify . Can you please help

Thanks
Martin

Are you using that shell?

echo $SHELL

It should be in /etc . Then just use vi or pico or whatever to edit it.

I dont know if I am using "that" SHELL . I am sorry ,
I am total newbe. I just know that I have to modify the startup file of my shell, so that it includes something in the PATH.
When I did echo $SHELL I got
/bin/bash

Please help me out some more

thanks Martin

You are using the bash shell. The startup file for bash is /etc/bashrc .

Look in your HOME folder i.e. while in your login, type cd ~ or just cd. Once you are in the home directory, type ls -la. Then look for files which start with a DOT.
