path in terminal mac code example

Example 1: update path variable mac

export PATH=$PATH:/new/dir/location1
export PATH=$PATH:/new/dir1:/dir2:/dir/path/no3

Example 2: adding path in mac

The easiest way to add a new path to $PATH (the environment variable) is with the export command. In this example we’ll add “~/opt/bin” to the user PATH with export:

export PATH=$PATH:~/opt/bin

You can run that directly from the command line, then check the $PATH with echo to show that it has been added like so:

echo $PATH

Example 3: adding this directory to PATH mac

sudo nano /etc/paths
