Path Environment

How do we change path environment?

When you login , you could update your PATH environment in your login profile (.profile, .bash_profile, etc) with this:

PATH=<insert your path here> example /usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:

You could also change it while you are logged in. Do a man env.

Hope this helps.
