check if you have file .profile in the home directory

if you have .profile you can put on it any enviroment variabler or you can create .bash_profile and put on it the enviroment variables


by the way if your shell bash and you have .profile and .bash_profile , .bash_profile will overide the .profile and if you don't have .bash_profile and have only .profile it works
