PATH statement editing?
 

How can I view and edit the PATH statement?

To display your PATH variable, at a command-line, type:

echo $PATH


To edit your PATH variable, open a text editor, then open the .bash_profile file in your home directory. You should see a line like:

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

Change that line to include what you want. If, for instance, you wanted to include /usr/local/test/bin to the path, change the above line to:

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/local/test/bin

Save the file, log out, and log back in.

If you want to enable it for only the session, type "export PATH=<etc>"
