This is not really the list for bash queries, but here you go.
Edit your ~user/.bashrc file.
Add the following line somewhere:
export PATH = $PATH:/path/you/want/to/add:/and/another/one (if your new paths contain programs of the same name as other ones in your former path, and you want to use the newer ones, put the $PATH at the end)
Save and exit.
To let it take effect in the current shell, type 'source ~user/.bashrc'. It automatically takes effect for new shells spawned by user 'user'.

Hello everybody,
I need some simple help, I have to add paths to the environment variable
PATH in bash, I suppose that I have to edit the file .bash_profile so that I
can add the paths I want but I don't know the way to do it
Which are the steps to follow? Examples?
Thanks,
Cristina.
