linux equivalent of PATH in Windows [SOLVED]

[vogonpoet]

I have a script (.sh) that works and that I would like to run from any terminal in any directory. In Windows, i would add the directory the script is in to the PATH. What's the equivalent in linux mint?

It's actually also called PATH in Linux.

Edit ~/.bashrc and add something like:

Code: Select all

export PATH="$PATH:/home/steve/scripts/bin"

Replace '/home/steve/scripts/bin' with wherever the script is located.

You could also just copy the script into /usr/local/bin, which is already in PATH

Hi,

Try

Code: Select all

echo $PATH

you guys rock! Thanks! Worked like a champ - I moved the script to /user/local/bin and changed a path in the script so it was absolute and not relative.
