How do I add a directory to $PATH permanently?

[JRV]

I am using:

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/arm-2008q3/bin

I need to run the command every time I start the terminal.

Is there a way to add the directory to the $PATH permanently?

Hi JRV.

You can add that line to your ~/.bashrc for personal use, or add the path to the list in /etc/environment to set it system wide.

Hope it helps. Let us know how it goes.

You could append it to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile but perhaps that method is deprecated :

Thank You Lars Noodén, I added it to .profile.

cariboo907 - Sorry about the double post, there was a long delay and I didn't think it went through.

Thread marked solved.
