Setting Up

2. 2. Setting PATH

   Now there are 2 Ways for Including into the PATH

   • 1st: Making a Symlink
     This a Quick way to append a single Binary into the Path..

     sudo ln -s /[path/2/myBinary] /usr/local/bin/

     If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then see: How to Enable sudo
     Example:

     sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/eclipse /usr/local/bin/

     Then Try if Linux Found it with:

     which [myBinary]

     But if you Do Not have SuperUser Privileges First, Append to the PATH a Target inside your Home following the Step Below and then for each New Entry:

     ln -s /[path/2/myBinary] ~/bin/

   • 2nd: Editing the Bash User’s File
     This is Good to Enter All at Once Multiples Binaries from a Directory into the PATH

     nano ~/.bashrc

     Append something like:

     export PATH=$PATH:/[path/2/myNewBinaries]

     Or if they are somewere Preminents include its on Top of the queue with:

     export PATH=/[path/2/myNewBinaries]:$PATH

     For Example:

     export PATH=/home/bob/Android/Sdk/tools:$PATH

     To Save the Changes and Exit Hit Ctrl+x ;)
     Then to Load the New PATH simply:

     bash

     Finally, Check it’s Working with:

     which [myBinary]
