set environment variables in Ubuntu
set environment variables in Ubuntu
This trick is useful, specially if youre using software outside of the repos, some of them need to set custom environment variables, in order to accomplish that you may follow these steps:
1. open a terminal
2. type: sudo nano /etc/profile.d/newvars.sh
3. adjust your vars like this: export MYVAR=/target/directory ; save it
4. give execute permissions like: sudo chmod 755 /etc/profile.d/newvars.sh
5. logout and login again
cool
so check it like this:
1. printev | grep MYVAR
you should see an output with the MYVARs value
thats all
