How to add a variable to the "path"
Hello,
I am new to this board and I have several questions: For two days now I've been trying to add a variable to my "path" -- without any success. What I want to do is add the path for my MySQL database to my "path" so I can access it from anywhere. Why is this such a hard thing to do in UNIX? Everybody recommends something else. WHERE do I have to add the path. Is the file called ".bash-profile" or ".cshrs" or ".shrs" or ".profile" or what? And, if you can give me an ultimate answer to my question, where exactly is this file located on the system? I have been a computer science student at uni for 3 years now, but nothing has ever caused me so much trouble. Such an easy task, but so hard to do, so many possible combinations!! Why?? Can anybody tell me how to do it? |
