Adding to the PATH variable on Mac

Found explanation here: http://keito.me/tutorials/macosx_path. Copying it in case I lose the link :-)

  • Open the Terminal application. It can be found in the Utilities directory inside the Applications directory.
  • Type the following: echo 'export PATH=YOURPATHHERE:$PATH' >> ~/.profile, replacing "YOURPATHHERE" with the name of the directory you want to add. Make certain that you use ">>" instead of one ">".
  • Hit Enter.
  • Close the Terminal and reopen. Your new Terminal session should now use the new PATH.
