All applications are installed with # apt-get install <package>

vlc : 1) su
2) apt-get install vlc

.. Or use the package manager 'synaptic'.

.....
And may be add this to /etc/apt/sources.list :
#DEBIAN MULTIMEDIA
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ lenny main

Some libraries are to be found in this repo only.
.....

#2 (indentation)
Use tab or space, it does not mater. Some editor like Kate have to indentation for bash.

#3 to export, use the "export" command. You can add it in your ~/.bashrc file to have it at boot. the path must look like:
/home/user/folder/file

vlc is in the main debian repo. But you may want the debian-multimedia.org repo for other apps. My suggestion would be for you to get to know how to use Synaptic then aptitude.

A decent /etc/apt/sources.list that will give you most anything you will need would be something like:

You have answers for most, but:

I have an application that does this: Bash Script Beautifier
