.bashrc in Linux mint debian

Dear members
I installed linux mint debian but i cant see .bashrc like in the ubuntu linux
where is it located. and if not available where do I customize my path to intalled packages like gmt and where do I set my custom alias

I have installed GMT using sudo apt-get install gmt. it has installed but I cant see its destination. i tried in /usr/bin and couldn't get it

you can create .bashrc in your home

Try:

Code:

whereis gmt

you can use the command locate gmt. Before executing you may need another command (as root): updatedb

You can search it using,

Code:

~$ find / -name "gmt" -print

Then you can set the path into your path variable, as:-

Code:

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/gmt

Or add this line in your .bashrc to make it permanant.

Hi,

You could setup a .bashrc & .bash_profile for your user.

Code:

  

 ~$ cat .bash_profile

   trap "rm -f ~$LOGNAME/.bash_history" 0

 

#The older KSH-style form

The .bashrc is very useful!

You can modify the above '.bashrc' to suit your user needs.
HTH!
