On a per-user basis you can add the following to $HOME/.bashrc (if using bash):

Code:

export PATH=/path/to/add:${PATH}

Note that the order of directories is important in the PATH variable: the shell scans directories in the specified order and if you have two executables with the same name, the first encountered is the one executed.
