There is no Command for that. PATH is a variable. To set A Variable use the command export: export variable=value. To access a variable use $variable. So to add something to the path you can use: export PATH=$path:/somedir This is not permanent however. In Debian Linux, the path is ist in /etc/profile. Other distributions meight do that in /etc/bashrc or similar. You can edit it, to change th path permanently. Hope that helps!
