How do I set path on Mac?

Answer 1

$PATH is nothing but an environment variable on Linux, OS X, Unix-like operating systems, and Microsoft Windows. You can specify a set of directories where executable programs are located using $PATH. The $PATH variable is specified as a list of directory names separated by colon (:) characters. To print the current settings, open the Terminal and then type:

echo "$PATH"

Change your PATH environment:

1: $HOME/.bash_profile file using export syntax.

2: /etc/paths.d directory.

SYNTAX:

export PATH=$PATH:/new/dir/location1

export PATH=$PATH:/new/dir1:/dir2:/dir/path/no3
